Jsut curious what everyone uses... I use armour all, I heard it has a high oil content which I kinda like because, very common for f-body dashes to dry out and crack in FL sun. Hell my g/f's '00 Cavalier dash already cracked.


Its also handy because I keep a can of hte wipes in my back seat and in heavy traffic I start to go over stuff.

Yeah, its sold in normal car stores. I haven't used their trim shine, but their glass cleaner is amazing. I might have to try their interior stuff. The tire shine works good to (better, more even spray then the other crap I've used). I get mine at Advanced Discount, but have seen it at a KMart, and a few other car stores.

Meguiar's NXT TEch Protectant for vinyl and rubber.... Lot better than ArmorAll IMO. It shines the same, but goes on easier (doesn't run as much) and also lasts longer. I use protectant all rubber and weather stripping, and I don't have to apply this stuff every time I wash my car like I did with ArmorAll.

The glass cleaner is called Invisible glass and their interior stuff is way better than armourall by far. the glass cleaner can also double as a quick exteior detailer as well.

I use the big Z on my dash too. I used to use 303 Aerospace, nothing wrong with it but it is a little too shiney and greasy looking. Zaino 10 works awesome.

Zaino is by far the best. Stay away from Armor-all. My interior guy said that the high oil content acts as a magnifying glass, and actually makes the sun worse on your dash. He told me that the best thing to do when you don't have any Zaino, is dust it regularly and use a wet chamois after you wash your car. Hope this helps.

I use Zaino Z-10, low gloss, good smell, and has a UV blocker, Armor All is a silicone dressing, too high a shine for me and I do not like high shine interiors....
