Meguiars spray detailer. I just want it clean--don't want it shiny.

Armor All wipes. Clean and easy.

I haven't thought about using Zaino Z16.... it is also my favorite tire dressing... maybe I'll try that once.

I used armorall on my old T/A and the dash cracked because of it! I've only used turtle wax since, and been very happy with my results for the last 5 years.

I've been using Armor All leather cleaners since I had the car ( 3 years ago ) and never had any problems.

Yeah the same thing happend to me, I used AA every week after I cleaned my car and then one day I come outside from school and I have a crack in my dash. Alot pf people told me AA was the cause of it, and because I used it often I increased my chance of getting a crack. I also was reccomended turtle wax 2001 I think ill give it a shot.

I use Meguiars Natural Shine. It's the best IMO. Engine bay, everything plastic in the car, exterior trim, etc.

It smells great, looks better, and lasts at least a week. I usually clean my exterior and engine bay at least 3 times a week. Usually more... After every long drive I detail my engine bay.

Rumor mill in the '80s was that AA cracked dashes. That was actually started by one of their competitors who is now out of business. (That is not to say one or two did not get dammaged by exessive use of Armor All.) And like has already been said, Armor All has changed their formula as well.

That being said, on the interior I use Meguire's. Exterior I use Zaino. When Zaino comes up with something decent to use on the dash and under the hood, then I will use it.

And dragon MF to apply, of course.
