Default Dash help!

I want to clean my dash but I dunno what I should use so I don't harm it (I just bought my 2000 Z28 on SAT). I use use armorall, but heard that it has water and will crack my dash + I don't like how shinny it is. So is there a product I can buy that will clean the dash good, protect it, and not make it super shinny???

Thanks and please try to give me answers ASAP as I have to park my car outside.

I do not use any type of "protectant" on any of the interior pieces in my car. Just use a nice damp cloth to keep things nice and clean.

My old 1993 Beretta GTZ sat outside for 5 years with nothing EVER appiled to the dash and it looked as good as new when I traded it in.

I treat the leather seats with generous amounts of 3M Conditioner to keep them soft, and to minimise the wrinkles.

I've done the same (damp cloth) since I got my Z28. Its been one year and no harm done.

Yup. A nice old washcloth slightly damp does the trick for me on all my interior surfaces. I've never put any kind of chemicals on my interior except leather conditioner on the seats.
