I dont remember who posted it, but someone had posted that the Amor-all actually dryed out vinyl and dash parts..so he suggested using another brand dash and vinyl cleaned/treater. Like I said, i dont remember who posted it or even if its right....but its something to consider..

Are we talking about CLEANING or CONDITIONING?
ArmorAll used to make (I don't think they do anymore) an excellent all-surface interior cleaner that not only worked well, but smelled good to boot. But I have also been known to use Murphys Oil Soap on vinyl and leather to get it clean.
For conditioning, Lexol makes a real good product for doing that.

Yeah, I don't think I would use Armor All, too many people talking about it drying things out too much. I like 303 protectant myself, but you will probably only find it online. I'm sure Meguiars makes something good for interior.

WTF? I use armour all on my truck....which is highly used....everywhere
I don't see any drying effects. Only hydrating. Actually, it holds up to about 3 washings and 2 weeks of florida sun on my exterior plastic trim.
I am planning to switch over to 303, I've heard its much better...
I know its not cheaper, and I have ALOT of area to cover *nearly 1/4 of this truck is plastic* but I really don't want my trim to be completely faded in a couple years in this florida sun.
Getting back on topic....
ArmourAll or 303 for the plastic/vinyl, and I recommend Zymol Cleaner and Zymol Conditioner OR lexol, which is excellent.

I am in the 303 camp myself for non leather surfaces.
I also wipe down my weatherstripping after washing the car with 303. Time will tell if it really keep weatherstripping conditioned to last longer.

We, the lucky few, who live in Florida know the importance of a good UV protectant. Whether it be Armor-all or 303 or any other brand, I think what is important for Floridians is constant and repeated application...

Here'* a free 303 sample kit. May be worth a try. Just $5 shipping. Or would it be better to just get a jug of the Aerospace Protectant?
