Default Armor All actually dries out plastic and rubber parts.

Armor All is the worst! Zymol has some nice products

Default I use Vinylex from Lexol. Alternatively you could just use a warm wet towel.
I like Vinylex, but some don't like the shiny surface that it leaves after application. The shiny surface does go away after about a week. I use it on the entire dash, console, stereo HU, door trim, etc.
