I'm not a fan of armor all products because they contain silicon which gives that greasy look and dries out the natural moisture/oils in vinyl and leather. Use a product like 303 Aerospace, Blue Magic or Lexol which are silicon free and protect without leaving a greasy residue

Actually, that's one huge point I forgot to address. The best thing for your interior is plain old soapy water, followed by clear water.

i was against it when my car was new. Nothing touched the interior except warm water. Now that my car is 4 years old, i thought "what the hell" i put LIGHT layer of armor all on the interior. It does give it somewhat of a "shiny" "greasy" look but i thought it improved the interior almost back to new. I dont get out of control with it, and probably only use a light coat once a month. No complaints here, i mean i guess it can only stay new so long.
Another bad thing about armor all including tire foam which im sure a ton of poeple on here use.... once you start using it you can never stop. It will deteriate the quality and look of what you spray on it untill you coat it again.

Armor all vinyl protectant still contains a water-based silicon emulsion formula. Although no longer oil-based, I prefer not to use anything containing silicon.

davidv....if you would rather use Hellmann's vs. Armor All, be careful to not sit on the bottle....particularly once the seal has been broken and with the top off.....your preferences could possibly change.
