Talking to a guy at the car wash the other day as I was putting armor all on my dash. He started freaking out telling me not to use armor all as it fads the dash because of the silicon in it . I heard from another guy that apparently it hardens the dash causes it to crack . Any thoughts on this and what do you guys use?

[Admin Edit: "Dashborad" -> "Dashboard" in Subject.]

No products. Damp cloth only. Armor All may appear to be working whilst you are applying it regularly but stop for a few weeks and then see the state of your dash. It will be dried out, stained a whitish colour or cracked. Armor All has a wierd effect on plastics.

ive only ever used a very very light coating of mothers... armor oil i found leave a nasty residue on the windscreen... and no its not my application method!!

anything really on your dash is going to soak up to your windscreen.. well i have found anyway

Thanks for the tip guys, but there must been somthing you can use other than a damp coth. (No i dont like dash mats)

I've used amour all (the protector thing not the cleaner) and found no probs with it... And i'm not one to use it regularly - maybe once or twice a year.

i don't like using cleaners on the dash as it doesn't get dirty, only dusty - i just clean the dash with a damp antistatic cloth /microfibre.

As someone else said, dashboards tend to get dusty and not dirty. Another option is to use your vacuum cleaner with one of those brush like heads on the end. I do the whole dash, steering wheel, centre console etc... with this and it works pretty well.

+1, it comes up good as new

i just like the smell of the cleaner.. ha ha

Sorry what i ment was the armor all that protects your dash not cleans the dash Must be sniffing too much cleaner .

I give my car a good blow job with the air compressor and find that it comes up like new it cleans all the little nooks and cranny's that the vaccumn cleaner misses .Other than that I use a damp microfiber cloth from Clark Rubber which are 1/3 the price that I have seen them elsewhere Another good cleaning toy is a Vinidex anti static mop thingy from Woolworth's for about $6 with replacement heads I keep this in the glove box and clean the dash on the way home in traffic on Parramatta road he he he
