What kind of Armorall do you use...

My favorite for years: Vinylex

I, too, am a fan of Mequire's. I've used their range of products for years with great results. I use their vinyl/rubber protector as well as their interior detailer.

I don't use armorall: I use 303 aerospace protectant or autoglym plastic conditioner.

meguiars is the brand that i am using right now for the dash and leather cleaning. i also got their wax and quick detailer as well.

Another vote for Meguiars. I've been using the Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant and Quik Detailer Interior.

Aerospace 303 cleaner and protectant, I use both products. If you keep your car clean you don't need to use the cleaner very often. Protectant is great at UV protection and is non-greasy.

With the way the interior is I thought I would jsut whipe it off with a microfiber cloth. Somhow it caused a white streak almost like a burn to form on the lower portion of the glove box.

I only had some Black Magic but it took it away. I was jsut thinking of using a warm washcloth from now on.

Does the 303 have a greasy feel to it? Many products state that there is no greasiness, but they still feel greasy to me. Last time I used a meguiars gold class vinyl/rubber protectant, but any product that can be used on both the dashboard and tires will have greasiness to it.

I like the look of a good matte protectant, but don't like the feel. I usually just use a quick detailer or wipe down the interior on a regular basis.

I look the like of a good matte protectant, but don't like the feel. I usually just use a quick detailer or wipe down the interior on a regular basis.

The "feel" will be subjective to each individual, however, you cannot go wrong with either 303 or Vinylex. I typically purchase Vinylex as you can find it locally; 303 is a bit harder to find, but when I do, I purchase a bottle. 303 produces a natural sheen; Vinylex adds a sheen. Your preference for a matte finish means you will probably like 303 better—both are top-shelf products.

haha oh wait, i do use armorall on my tires. Armor All - Product Detail

extreme tire shine gel. it was on sale and i thought gel was a lot better than spray because i didn't want to get that stuff on the paint.

Here's the tire protectant I use on daily drivers as it is the quickest to apply (I wipe any overspray off the rims): More Shine

I buy it by the 12-can case.

303 if left on, can be a bit shiny. It should however be buffed out a bit for a true matte finish. It's really great stuff and was created for use on boat seats, seals etc.

semtex · 04-29-2009, 01:56 PM

I do all my interior dusting with a Swiffer duster, except for the floor of course (which I vacuum out).

ACoupe · 04-29-2009, 02:10 PM

I keep a swiffer in my G as the interior is black and I'm OCD with my cars :P
