Armor All and your GT/CS

Do you guys recommend cleaning dash and other plastic trimming of this car with ARMOR ALL?

Yeah, it's OK for the trim on a v6 or GT, but I wouldn't recommend it on a CS.

It is the same trim in a GT and V6 (dash, door panels, console, etc..). Only difference is two-tone seating (which I wouldn't use amor-all on leather anyway).

It was a joke. See the post prior to mine. He posting the same thing in the CS forum as the General forum.

Armor All isn't a cleaner? It's a protectant for after cleaning. They might make a cleaner product as well.
I would use the dull/matt finish version if I were to use it at all

I don't like armor all that much. I use Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer Wipes or I use the leatherwipes. Either way the int comes out looking great

I use interior products from Griots Garage.com All of their products leave the surfaces looking new but not shiny.

In walking around Wally World last night I noticed that they're now selling "Turtle Wax ICE interior cleaner". I don't know anything specific about it but from talking to a few fellow Mustang owners who swear by the product line it might be something worth trying.

Which causes fish eyes in paint anywhere near where it has been used and it bakes into the dash causing it to turn brown in a number of years.

Armor All belongs in the trash can and FAR AWAY from any paint shop or car.....I paint cars at my shop and customers who use that junk cause us more problems and work trying to remove it before painting anything. Use a quality interior dressing and leave the Armor on the shelf.
