Armourall: good or bad?

Is it ok to use Armourall on my dash and interiour parts? I've heard from some people that armourall can crack dashes, but I've thought that was only if you stopped applying it. If armour all sucks, what's the best to use? Thanks.

Too greasy. Attracts dust. Another vote for 303. Seems to repel dust.

Yeah.. me too. I've heard from some people it will crack your dash, if you stop using it. I've only used armourall in all my cars, and I've never had any problem. But then again, I've never owned any one car for 15+ years.

The only Armor All I use is the Detailer's Advantage stuff. It's much better than the regular stuff, and much less watery.

Meguiars Vinyl plastic and rubber cleaner works exceptionally well. Gets everything out and keeps the dash shiny for weeks.

I like the "look" of 303 better....but Armor All excels in one area. It helps plastic interior parts stop squeaking.

Can someone please explain to me what 303 is?
What it can it be used on besides the dash and Where can I get it?
Does it keep your dash shiny but Not greasy? or does it just cleans?


Thanks,
Claude

It's a protectant for boat interiors.
I use it on door panels, center consoles, vinyl headliners, and tried it on my truck's bumper. Works great.
Get it at boating supply stores.
And it's not super shiny. Has a nice non-blinding shine. More coats = more shine. Repels dust pretty good too.
