    Unhappy Too Much Armorall???

    I have the amazin interior that is black trimmed in chrome. It is sporty and I love it but I find myself using armorall wipes a couple times a week to romove dust and such and hoping that my leather dash will shine but it dont. Someone told me I coulud overdo the armorall. Any suggestions on cleaning the dust off and taking out scuffs on the door panels and making it all shiny and wet looking? PLZ HELP.

    Re: Too Much Armorall???

    First off, im going to tell you that there are much better products out there than armorall, but im not going to jump on that subject just yet.

    Second, im assuming if you're using the Armorall wipes to clean, that theyre the "cleaning wipes" If so, i do not believe these have any protectant in them, theyre just for cleaning. If you want the dash to be shiney, you need a protectant on it.

    I believe "shiny dashes":



    should be grouped with the other items that belong in the:

    Driving while Distracted laws!


    Also: I, personally, do not like making any material(s) in a vehicle's cabin: "all shiny and wet looking"

    Why not just wipe down the dash with clean, dedicated, MF towels?

    in my experience, shiney and wet looking dash's and other interior surfaces are magnets for dirt and dust, slowly becoming grimey more so than shiney...

    i second Kinalyx's post...

    Wink Re: Too Much Armorall???

    Thanks for the advice and the armorall wipes are cleaning wipes so I see your point on that as well as I understand the point of having the distraction of a shiny dash. I had never really looked at it from that veiwpoint. Ok So shiny is not the best way to go but I would like to not have to clean it more than once a week. I am a little OCD with the dust in my car.

    Re: Too Much Armorall???

    Any armor-all is too much armor-all. In my experience it attracts dust, I would try something like 303. Some people complain that the odor is not the most pleasant but I have had very good luck with it. Also PERL is a great product to use as well and is very inexpensive and is a very "flexible" product.

    That's the view from my windshield. How do I lower the glare ? Other than a dark flannel on the dash.
