Interior Products
 

What do you like to use on the interior. Like dash pad, kick panels, etc. I'm not a fan of slick greasy look. I have an original dash pad that I need to put something on it to keep it from cracking.

Since restoring our interior, I am watching this thread too. Not sure what to use other then the dreaded armor all.

I have heard that Armor All will dry out the dash pad causing it to crack.

Haven't tried it but heard about cleaning interior parts with Murphy's oil soap. Won't dry out the vinyl but doesn't leave an oily film.

Murphy's oil soap does leave the oily film and if you get it wet, while on any surface, it can become gooey/soapy again. And if you do try it, be prepared, because it can be hard to get off without using a soap like dawn dish soap, which definately can dry things out.

Thanks for heads up, like I said I haven't tried, just heard about. I'll scratch that off my list.

We need to get sosmeone from a detailer shop on board.

What's a 'sosmeone' dave, I'll start looking for one? :D

Its what you get when 3 kids and a wife are asking you questions, while your trying to post :D

Oh, I thought it's what you get after having a few beers and trying to type. I've read a few of my posts later and said "What the hell!"

Guys and gals ,I am cheap and like things that work that are cheap. I use store brand(dollarstore) babyoil on my seats ,dashpad,doorpanels ,kickpanels ,weatherstrips and anything else vinyl or plastic.It looks good and a little goes a long way. Just put some on a microfiber towel and wipe it on .I have done this for years and will continue to use it. I keep a small bottle in the trunk all the time.

Lucky for me I dont have a padded dash.But if I did I might just have a towel with me and lay it over it and keep the sun off.

I dont know why all the negatives about armour-all but it works like a champ for me ... just a note though, many dont realize that armour-all makes a "low-lustre" product also that keeps the glare down in the bright sun .... vette owners know what I mean.

One thing though, DO NOT use armour-all on your atv seats .... stoopid me! LOL

I use Johnson's Baby Oil. About 3-4 drops on the rag and wipe down the dash. I know, I know----- "I don't want an oily residue on my car"... Wah!!!!!!

If you use too much-- yes, it will leave some behind. But only use a small amount and it protects the dash and other surfaces perfectly. A guy at Mother's told me about this. I bought a bunch of other stuff from him at a show and he said to try it. Works great !!!!!

I don't really like using armour-all in my chevelle. It works a lot better in my Audi. But to be honest I never really clean the inside of my chevelle cause it never gets dirty.

I use baby oil on my dash ,seats ,door panels and steering wheel. I just put a little on a clean cloth and wipe it on and then wipe it again with a dry cloth. It is also great on door and trunk weatherstrip and its cheaper than the other stuff.

One of the best, non-greasy products you can use on your car is 303 Aerospace protectant. If you search the product you will see it mentioned on countless car forums and typically is one of the highest rated, although there are many alternatives as already mentioned here. Just throwing my $.02 out there, as that is about all it is worth :)
