Default How many use armor all on interior?

How many of you guys use armor all or any sort of protectant/shine on your interior? If so, where do you apply? i.e. dashboard only, doors, center console etc. I was just wondering cause I've never used this stuff on my Z yet, (do on my other cars), wanted to see what the turn out was. pics would be nice if you have them.

+1, throw that junk away. Use 303 Aerospace Protectant! Be careful on the doors though!

Go with the 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Never spray anything directly on the door or other interior panels. It will leave it looking blotchy. Always spray on a cotton cloth or applicator then let it soak in for a minute then wipe the cloth on the door. That helps spread it evenly and keeps the blotchy looking spots to a minimum.

yeah i'm not worried too much bout the dash. Mainly the doors, that thing is hard to keep looking decent. I've never used any type of cleaning materials and it looks blotchy.

If you arm rests up against the door while driving and you sweat just a little, that will leave a blotchy spot. If you open the door while it's raining, that can leave spots.

do not use armor all in the Z !!!! It makes the dash very oily and shiny making it look very cheap. And dust is more prone to sticking to it because it's so greasy, so NO armor all !!! I usually just use a wet paper towel and does it nice and clean or that 303 thats great too.

The only place I care for Armor All is on tires. I'd use 303 on all weatherstripping and interior plastics.

Warm water with a mild liquid soap. Wash liberally with a cotton cloth or a microfiber towel. You need something with some nap to get into the grooves. After washing, wipe down several times with a wet then damp cloth to rinse the soap away. Let dry then inspect and touchup any remaining blotchy spots with a damp towel.

I wouldn't use armor all cause it'll actually dry out the dash if used over time. I use the meguiars and spray it on a cloth first. It works fine.
