Please, tell me your thoughts. I've just been wiping everything down with a cloth but it looks like she needs a good cleaning. I didn't want to use Armor all because I heard that it dries things out after a while.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Armorall is the best way to go, unless you mix your own but thats not really recommended

I used that on my old car but I heard that in the end, it'll dry out the surfaces and cause cracking if not careful. Anyone else hear that?

i dont think famous shops like JE and Unique autosport that use armorall that would have alot to lose use products that affect customers cars in a negative way

I just use an armorall leather care for my seats. So far its okay, I didnt know it will crack though. Does it really? Anyway, I just wonder if I can use this too for the doors and dashboard? Or there are other cleaners for that also? I dont know much about cars. As long as it runs, looks good and clean I wont know any difference.

To my knowledge, this is one of the best cleaners & protectants for interiors.

you are correct in a sense about it drying out. what it does is armor all and the other major brands contain petrolium. which breaks down plastics and rubber fairly easy
although it can take several years. the best thing to do is find a non-petro based "cleaner" and you shouldnt have any problems.
though you can use petro based units. just plan on applying coats weekly

Does anyone have definitive evidence of this?  Or is it FUD/rumor?  Armor All's website does not mention petroleum distillates in their list of ingredients.   Granted, they don't specifically say it doesn't either.
 
What are the ingredients in Armor All® Protectants? Do they include silicone, alcohol, ultraviolet inhibitors and petroleum distillates?

Armor All® Leather Care contains lanolin and natural moisturizers, and UV inhibitors. Armor All® Leather Care Protectant Spray and Leather Wipes contain water-based silicone emulsions, surfactants, and ultraviolet light inhibitors. Armor All® Original Shine Protectant contains water-based silicone emulsions, surfactants, and ultraviolet light inhibitors, humectants, dispersants and gloss enhancers. Armor All® Ultimate Clean Protectant contains water-based silicone emulsions, surfactants, ultraviolet light inhibitors and a fragrance.

I use a product called SD-20 that works great.  You can find it on the internet if you do a yahoo search.  It's used extensively all over the auto industry.

I''ve never had problems with cracking from armour all, but the surface did fade a little.

hey,

i use the total interior care made by turtle wax: ICE.

you pay $10 for a bottle that lasts awhile and a small microfiber cloth that you can reuse for other things when it comes time to buy a new bottle. it works on vinyl and carpet really well. also good for leather and plastic. the inside of your car will smell like fresh car wax when your done and i love the smell of my car after ive spent a couple hours cleaning and waxing the whole outside. my interior is black so its the only thing i trust to keep my dash from cracking and fading over time.[factory sunshade helps too]. its all i really use for cleaning my interior to be honest, besides a vacuum cleaner.
