Which Dash/door panel cleaning products?

I've looked through the board, but can't seem to find an answer to this question (is the search system broken?), so i'll go ahead and ask it.

I'm looking for recomendations on cleaning and protectant products for my interior (2003 EXP) dash, door panels, console, etc. The only ones I know of are Armour All and Lexol's Vinylex, but I am unsure of the quality of these, and if they are the correct products to use on my interior. Any product recomendations?

Thanks,
Miles Teg

If you want to best, use Adam's VRT or Poorboys dressings. They are non-greasy, smell great (I just want to eat it!) and provide long lasting UV protection.

www.adamspolishes.com and www.poorboysworld.com

These are quality products!

i have always used Vinylx and I have been satisfied with the results. It gives very long lasting UV protection. Plus the shine lasts for a loooong time. i go to school in tallahassee and im from s. florida so i usually dont get to really clean my interior until i go home for a weekend or something and the longest i have gone without using it on my dash and consoles was a good 3 months and it still shined very nice.

if you want a real glossy look armor all will work nicely. i found that for a clean, no gloss look, furniture polish works great. the white bottle of pledge smells good. i think its citris or something. another cool thing are those microfiber towels. you can get them at walmart and they have this stick feel, even after you wash them. i keep one behind my seat to quickly wipe off the highway dust on the dashboard.

If the parts are real dirty I will clean with Meguiars APC+ diluted to 9:1 ratio, then dress with either Poorboys Natural Look, Meguiars #40, or 303 with great results. Does NOT leave a glossy look which is great.

Mothers products........it is a non-oil based product, which can cause your dash to crack later on in life. I stand by Mothers products, it brings back the natural shine, oh, it also smells very nice as well!
