autozone offers alot of wet and dry wipe cloths as well. are they any good? they clean up dust and dirt pretty good in my opinion.

Personally I use a damp diaper. No not a disposible; but cloth. They are very soft won't scratch and almost lint free. In fact they work well when you wax your car and use it to buff out the wax.

Okay Okay I can hear the everyone laughing now and I am sure the jokes are coming, but give it a try.
haha that reminded me of ferris bueller for a minute "he doesnt drive the car he just waxes it with a diaper" . but what would be funny i buy a thing of diapers and say a cashier asks how old my kid would be. and i be like i dont have a kid. i just want to wax my car LOL. oh wow that would be so awesome. i think i may just try that though. hehe

Doesn't armorall have oil in it that traps the heat in your dash that cracks it? I heard something like that. I hate spending money.... but this car MADE me do it!! I have dumped way too much cashola into it.... *cry*

I'm honestly not sure what makes up Armour-all, butI had heard it to be hydrocarbon based and from my ownexperiences, does a nice job of cracking (old style) dashboards if not applied regularly.

No joke, Man. That's a very old trick for waxing too. That's VERY good advice
My only question is: With so many disposables out there, where the HELL do you find cotton diapers anymore?

Try PepBoys, Autozone, Kragen, however Target or WalMart may have beter quality and price.

Armor-all leaves silicon behind. over time it builds up and then on a hot or sunny day CRACK all over your boards and i dont mean the good kind. I like to use black magic, but even with that im kinda iffy on. I'd go with a dry black tee shirt to get rid of the dust and since its black, you dont really see the lint it leaves behind

i use black magic for my dash and all my plastic interior. nice wet shine and it stays like that for weeks. i use a torn piece from an old shirt though to keep the lint off. you should look into it.

Iuse micro-fiber towels that you can but at wally world and at auto parts stores at a higher price. They work wounders at cleaning all places of you'r car. Through em in washer after words and ready for next clean-up or dusting.
