Whats a good cleaning solution to clean and protect the interior?

On my 96 Civic I used Armor all and it seemed to dry out the plastic and rubber once it wore off. I'm looking for something that shines and protects the interior from drying and cracking.

Eagle One, Meguir's, and numerous others sell products to protect the dash from cracking. Just go to an AutoZone or other parts place and look at all of their product.

Try the spray on product Vinylex manufactured by Lexol (you can get it less than $10.00 at Autodetail.com. I use it on rubber, vinyl and plastic. I started using it when I bought my last car new, a 1993 Ford Thunderbird, and the dash never cracked and still looks good almost 9 years later. I also suggest getting one of those window heat shields to give your dash a break from the sun. An auto detailer I know also said that Armorall can crack the dash.
