Is anyone using Armor All on the non-leather interior surfaces? I was told years ago not to use it because it seems to smear and never looks like it goes on evenly. What else is out there?
Always appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.

I like Griots Vinyl and Rubber Dressing. No greasy feel and a great matte finish. No sheen.

Or Amazon. Especially useful if you have Prime.

I replaced Armor All with Aerospace 303 several years ago and find it easy to apply, leaving a satin/matte finish, and it doesn't seem to outgas as much as AA which tended to leave an oily film on windows after a day or two in the sun. Great for tires, plastic parts, rubber door gaskets and interior parts.

Corvette leather seats have a plasticized coating. Every seat no exceptions. All the conditioner goop in the world won't do anything for them. So a damp cloth is all that you need. If you gotta have shiny, then you gotta have shiny. But it will just come off on your pants.

Over the years I've become conditioned (pardon the pun) to putting some kind of preservative on my interior surfaces, plastic (ArmorAll) and leather (Lexol). It just seemed like the right thing to do, especially in the case of two Euro cars that had uncoated leather. The C6 and two C7s I've owned get only a damp cloth every month or so as per the owners manual and most recommendations I found on-line. If GM could sell you a conditioner they would do it and recommend its use in the manual. I also use a sun shade on the dash in the summer months to spare it from the evil sun's rays and reduce interior temps.
