Zymol Leather Conditioner: Sounds whacked but I like the results versus slippery-shiney products.

Any cleaner/conditoner products with alcohol regardless of maker should be used with caution.
I told this to my neighbor who had an early 70s desirable sport blue dodge with a white vinyl top. She used armorall faithfully for years on her top and suddenly what I had been telling her happend. One day she came to me to show me her top had shrinked and seperated from the ancore points. The top was mint except for that one detail.

reputation is that Armor All tends to pull moisture out of the plastics, accelerating the wear and cracking.
I'd dust it off with a Swiffer doo-dad, and use something else for cleaning it deeper... I

All shiney
Silverworm,
You DON'T want a shiney dash. If the dash were shiney, under certain lighting conditions the glare from the shiney dash reflected in the windshield will blind you and you will wreck your car. The dash needs to have a flat non-reflective finish.

The FiT dash is painted?! They couldn't even cast the plastic black when-made? That's weak-sauce.

I use "Trim Shine" and it works well.
Tried armour-all just for the heck of it one day, but it left it streaky.

I just use a damp, lint-free towel. Keep flipping it to a new side until it's clean. If you just use water, you won't leave any residue. For really nasty or greasy tuff, I use Simple Green (20 to 1 ratio, I water it down).

Stoner's "More Shine, Less Time" interior spray is freaking great. I use it when i detail cars, and it also puts on an anti-static coating.

armor all protectant or alternative?
I recently heard that armor all actually dries out the surfaces you use it on, and that it actually will damage materials in the long run. Is this true? If so, what can we use as an alternative?

Urban Legand?
Will someone please point me to an unbiased documented test that actually proves that the bad mouthing of Armorall is fact and not fiction based.
