Default is250/350 black interior, do you guys use armor all?

what do you guys that have black interior use to keep it nice and clean? should i not let my local car wash use the armor all that they would normally wipe the dash board with? this would be my first interior wash concern and i want it done right (i am not talking about seats... more like the dash and the doors)

i wouldn't spray armor all, since it would leave a shiny gloss. I use meguiar's Quick interior detailer mist and wipe.

I think Zaino leather conditioner/protectant is ok for use on the dash.....but I would never ever use armor all.

I use the Meguiar's Gold Class Protectant wipes on the dash, NOT the leather and it works awsome. One application last a couple of weeks. It's great stuff.

Never ever use Armor All on the interior as it'll dry right up.

Ditto on the seats and door inserts.

Long term use of Armor All has been blamed for degradation of the plastic and cracks in the dash.

Even if that weren't true, I hate that shiny, slippery, greasy feeling it gives to plastic.

Like ano0oj, I find that wiping the dash down with a damp cloth works just fine.
