Has anyone used Armor All fr the dash? What do others use?

I have used Aerospace 303 Protectant for many years. It has UV protection, is low sheen, and safe for plastics, vinyls, and leather. I apply it to the dash, steering wheel, headlights, and all the door seals. I’ve been very happy with it.

Adam's Interior Detailer. Careful - that dash scuffs easily.

Yeah don’t use armorall, older Lexus dashes have not held up well with time and they like the the your chemicals damaged the dash line. I use chemical guys products ironically enough lol. And yes the dash does scuff very easily.

I’ve used all the best as mentioned above, and 303 is my go to. Be careful not to scuff, and make sure that you use a very soft microfiber cloth.

The answer to Armor All is always "no".

I use Aerospace 303.

I ordered 303, but why do you not like Armorall?????????????

My personal opinion is that it makes things too shiny and plasticky looking. Plus it’s really not that good for cars. Might be ok for the 25 year old Toyota Corolla, but not for a modern luxury car.

I think Armor All has a bad reputation from it's old formula which contained something that made dashes retain moisture and caused them to more easily form cracks in extreme weather conditions. They've since changed that formula but never regained their popularity from the 80s.

I personally don't like it because it's more glossy and that isn't what you want in a dashboard. I like the matte finish and UV protection of the Aerospace 303

It makes the dash too glossy, which gives horrible dash reflections on the windshield.

Another vote for 303. I'd suggest a different product for the steering wheel though. While 303 gives a nice, no residue finish, I've found that the steering wheel feels a little more "slippery" after applying 303. It's really not that big of a deal if you're actively gripping the wheel, which you should be doing anyway, but it's something worth mentioning.

Agree with almost everyone. Use 303 for the interior, door jams and moonroof seal. It takes a beating from the sun. The 303 has a high UV protection and does not leave a high gloss shine like Armor All. I use the roll on for all the door and trunk seals and moonroof seal.

Another +1 for 303, used very extensively in the marine detail and protection world.

Is there a difference in the clear bottle and the dark colored bottle that says automotive? Haven't got the chance yet to go to the store and see them

I've been using the Chemical guys product and it's way better than the Armor All. The shine lasts way loner on the dash and tires. It does not leave the dash too shiny IMO as long as you don't use too much.
