It'll also cloud the plastic lenses on your dash and leaves a nasty film on the inside of the windshield when it evaporates. I'll remove the colored paint and metallic coating from plastic trim pieces. If you have any soft vinyl it will harden it wich will cause it to crack. I just use a damp micro fiber cloth these days. Just say no the the shiny oily stuff.

I don't think I'd say that I don't trust it, but I still don't use it. There's just something about Armor-All that I don't like...probably the oily finish among many.
I use various products on my dash and such, but never Armor-All.

so your saying that armor all shouldnt be used on dashs and tops because those surfaces are painted? and armor all eats paint so if i put it on a dash or top itll eat the paint and then my dash will turn colors because its really not the same color under the top coat of paint?

ok so ill ask u again do u think car dashboards are painted the color they r?like underneath they are all a generic color and they r painted at the factory the color of the interior? im just asking a simple question here about what u said earlier. i dont use armor all usually i just wanna get to the bottom of the "i used armor all on my dash and it cracked it " stories i've heard. just want some clarifacation on that.

ya that was my thoughts exactly. im not sure if i wanna use the armor all on the dash or not the controversy remains. i just want protection from the uv rays, u no? like sunscreen for my dash. which actually isnt cracked at all and its an 83 and ive never put anything on it.i do use a sun shade in the summer for the heat.
