I'm a big fan of Meguiars' products but wanted to know what everyone here uses for their dash and door panels. Thanks for your input. Mike

kcheng86, you don't want to use armor all!!!
It contains silicon that will "harm it all" your dash eventually.
Switch to Lexol Vinylex or something.

You can use the Aerospace on everything...whats really nice about it is that it is not greasy or shiny. give the plastic/leather all that good stuff a fresh look. On their website you can see how many big name companys use them. I basically put it on everything in the interior of the car except for the radio console.

That does the job very well and won't harm the finish. I'll use the Vinylex twice per year -- once in the spring and once in the fall. Be conservative with Vinylex.

I like to keep keep my dash cleaned at all times...so what is the best stuff to use, say once once a week? Meguiars? 303? As far as Meguiars goes, do I get the spray or the wipes?

spray it on a towel, then wipe it... don't directly spray on dash... it will have hella spot like you sneeze w/o covering your mouth.
