Default Armoral Good or Bad?

I have heard alot of talk about armoral being BAD for your interior instead of acually prolonging the life.. is this true? Because i have used armoral in the past... now i use turtle wax if theres a difference..?I thought i would get all of your opinions on this..

I used Armor All exclusively in my 3rd gen (you know the one with the carrier deck dash top) never had a crack or any other problem, and they were notorious for cracking, so in my case Armor All did good for me

Armor All was reformulated several years ago to a water-based dressing. It's fine to use.

I like the Mother protectant,works well no color fading or cracking and keeps the shine for along time.

Lots of other options if you don't want to use Armor All.

Zaino Z16, 303, Meguiar's Natural Shine, Mother's Reflections, Poorboy's Natural Look or Trim Restore, etc.

Any water-based dressing.

I personally do not like Armor All... I used it way back when but also heard that it actually dried out your tires and plastic. I use Meguiars Endurance Gel (purple gel) on my tires and dash. It is awesome stuff. It stays on for 2 weeks and does not fly up on your quarter panel. It does not drip or run or stain your driveway. When applying it you will need to use a foam applicator and dampen the applicator before you use it. It helps put it on better. Don't soak the applicator just dampen it to where it's not dripping with water. It also smellls really good and is not greasy like all the rest of the products including Armor All. I hope this helps you. You won't be disappointed. You can find it almost anywhere but try like Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts... Good Luck!

I stick with Meguiar's stuff. It's a hard act to follow.

I don't like it, to greasy. I use Meguiar's products for the dash and leather.
