You really don't want to do that. It will give it a shine that when the sun hits it, you'll go blind.

Besides, when Armour All or Son-of-a-Gun type of stuff starts to wear off, the vinyl (or rubber if you use it on tires) looks worse that before you put anything on it, so you have to keep using it over and over, until you find something that's better.

All my opinin though, and you know what they say about opinions....everybody's got one, some bigger than others.

Onyx, I agree with Crewzin. I just use a dash cleaner spray.

I would not use Armorall for the dashboard or any other interior sections of my Cruiser. After checking into various alternatives I ended up using turbomangt's Ultimate Dressing Professional Grade www.perfectautofinish.com to detail my car's entire interior with good results as can been seen in the photos below.

Armol All was on the short end of a class action law suit which they lost millions. Turns out when the product would dry on the dash, it would cause the dash to crack. You would think after years gone by they would improve the formula, NOT! I see cars that are armorall'd at local car washes, and its a sticky, slimely, greasy MESS, stick with water based products, you wil be happier, so will your car. Gary

Agree with the preceeding posts. I like Mother's Back-to-black and Finish 2000.
I also noticed ArmorAll would "bleed" onto paint - leave a black trail after a rain - when I used it on weatherstripping on outside of car - the others don't do that.[?]
