Default what to use to clean dash vinyl and plastic??

Used to use armor all a long long time ago.. hated the smell, the stickiness... eckk

Now I either use a wet paper towel or the zaino leather cleaner spray. I know both are prolly not very good for it though.

What do you use on your dash and interior pannels (non leather)?????

Vinylex works well.

Default Never "cleaned" it...

I've been using a dustcloth and occasionally ArmorAll Low-Gloss. Not familiar with adverse side-effects you mention. I use Zymol Treat on the leather bits; maybe the enchanting tropical essences cover up the smell Looking forward to trying Vinylex, they all say it's wonderful.

Default Proved Vinylex as a cleaner and conditioner on my pal's 1993 AstroVan...

He did not know the steering wheel was light grey. He thought it was charcoal. After I used some Vinylex on it and commented "You ever reach into the french fries from the steering wheel directly?" he went about using it on all vinyl and plastic surfaces in the van.

His comment, and he sells the stuff: "I didn't know it was a cleaner, too!"

Default The only problem I have with it is the unusual amount of haze that gets deposited....

on glass. Had the car for 6 months and only had to clean the inside glass twice in that time... use the Vinylex and now I have to clean every few weeks.... (but I still like the way the interior looks with it)
