Default armorall wipes on dashboard

Hey guys, so yesterday was the first time I cleaned the interior. Keep in mind, this is first really nice car I have owned so I am still fairly new to lot of the proper products to use to keep my car spotless. I used the armorall wipes and wasn't a fan of the greasy, shiny look. I figured it would go away, but today it still looks a bit greasy for my taste. I was probably going to use a damp cloth and try to wipe the dashboard and panels today after work. Now would you guys recommend this remedy, or should I do something else. I swear im switching to 303 Aerospace from now on!!!

I'm not a fan of anything containing silicon (which Armor all is FULL of, and which give it that shiny, greasy feel). I usually just wipe down the dash using an old t-shirt and a bucket of soapy water, followed by a bucket of clear water. Usually I don't do anything else, but occasionally, I follow up with some Blue Magic vinyl and leather protectant/conditioner. It gives just a slightly darker hue, and no annoying shine. Everyone else seems to love 303 Aerospace, although I haven't had the chance to try it yet.

I just keep a "California Duster" handy and swab it down ever couple of days. Take up ALL of the dust and dirt and does not leave any residue at all.

don't use the wipes, they're easier but u usually spread too much. I just ordered some 303 so i can't really testify to it, but armor all spray (lightly) plus a clean towel usually looks okay. I'm also not a fan of the super shiny look either but I can get it to look how I like w/ armor all spray.

BTW Detail University is a good forum, and there are a bunch of good detailing threads on G35 Driver

I hate Armorall, it dries out plastic and makes things look dull after years of use.

Eagle F1 makes a good leather/ vinyl cleaner protectant spray. Maintains the flat and clean look.
