Some people say armor all actually strips the coating or protective stuff on the interior, has anyone else heard that it will actually harm your interior?

yeah, if you ask pretty much anyone that details cars, they will tell you its better just to wipe your dash off, and that it is one of the worst products on the market.

I use it every now and then to shine up the dash and doors but when it gets dusty I just wipe it off. So far my dash is just fine and its been almost 2 years of using the stuff.

Armor all SUCKS!

It cooks in the Phoenix Sun!

i used it alot and nothing happened. switched to turtle wax protectant but way too shiny. i'm just gonna let it fade hopefully and just use on doors from now on. i like turtle wax cause rain doesn't ruin it and make it run.

i used the low shine one, cuz all that shinning plastic is gay, and nothing happend. it just gets thirsty again and i spray more

i've been trying to wipe off the turtle wax one for 6 months now and its still shiny lol

ive been using that stuff forever on my old car and my civic, my dash is perfectly fine, i dont believe that at all

i use this stuff to and its SUPER shinny. the sun reflects off the dash and onto the windshield and blinds the hell out of my eyes, i almost hit people a several times

and yeah, it lasts forever.

^^^ same here. I have started using just the cleaner wipes because of that.
No problems here as far as it hardening the dash.

i use turtle wax. stuff stays on forever and my dash still looks like it did the day i took the car out of the dealership three years ago.

I've just always used the Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish.

meguiars nxt tech protect > *

i usually just wipe it off too, but sometimes it gets dirty, so to clean itwhat is acceptable to use?

ive used armor all wipes on my dashboard and console for a year or 2 now...its still fine to me. but im sure their are better products specifically for your interior on the market.

It just looks oily to me...no thx

armor all isnt that bad. there are much worse products on the market that many people use, a lot on this board probably use them. its a water based product, so because of that its already better than a lot of the stuff you see on the shelves.

so is there any particular name for this turtle wax for the interior?

its just the platinum series shine protectant. i use it on the bumper and black side trim around the windows and after rain its still shiny and not all messed up like armorall.

i've been using armor all on my car for the past 5 years...my dash is still in good condition. I was thinking of switchin to that turtle wax stuff but apparently everyone thinks it's too shiny...i'll stick to armor all...for now.

ya dont use on dash. it looks great but you wont be able to see in the sun

thanks

I've used it on every car except the civic, due to the blinding from the black dashboard. Never had any problems. I think you'd be worse off without it. Without it you get cracks from drying out.

Ive never had a problem with ArmorAll, its good stuff.
its not one of the cheapest brands (not the most expensive either)
I like it.

The sun does tons more damage than any cleaning wipes!
