they suck, I tried it a couple of times, the wipes are overally soaked and hard to make an even layer on the dash.

I think they work really fine with my car
my dash is really shinny now after i clean it with the armorall wipes.
i used it for the rims as well, and they are shinny as hell now
I LOVE IT..try it...they are cheap too,so worth a try.

Do not use Armour all on your dash. It contains silicone and will dry it out and eventually crack the vinyl. Use something like 303 Protectant.

I agree with Armor all cracking your dash with its silicones. I have heard that the 303 stuff is very good at just preserving the natural finish of the vinyl.(Which is what you really want for your dash and tires in the long run). Having a shiny dash looks good for show, but is dangerous for actual driving conditions.

the armour all glass wipes suck ballz too. They left my windows very streaked up, and nasty looking. I probably could of pissed on my windows then wiped it off and it would of looked better.

I heard the same thing about the cracking also, but I used it for 9 years on a '79 F-100 and for the last 3 1/2 years on my '96 240SX, and have yet to see any problems. I'm not saying it does not cause cracking eventually, but I should have seen something in a decade of use. Perhaps the problem is using it and then stopping?

Also, I have heard of people using Pledge for the dash. Anyone else hear of of this?

What I have heard about Amorall is that If you you it on your dash all the time you will be fine. It is when you stop using it that it will begin to dry and crack.

Has anyone else heard this?

I just use a soft hand towel with a little bit of warm water. It gets the dust off, and thats really all that needs to be done.

But doesn't the dash need to be conditioned like leather, to put the moisture back in it?
