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 wouldn't think so either and had I known that, I wouldn't have asked...Settle down

 

im clam *twitch*

 

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 AllĀ® Protectants? Do they include silicone, alcohol, ultraviolet inhibitors and petroleum distillates?

Armor AllĀ® Original Shine Protectant contains water-based silicone emulsions, surfactants, and ultraviolet light inhibitors, humectants, dispersants and gloss enhancers.
