I havan't heard anyone else mention it, but this is the best stuff I have ever used. Sorry for using another site, but I can't find a better thread describing it. By the way, this is an exmple of an engine bay, but interior shines up just the same. My 2 cents ...

try the meguires gold class stuff for interior. not too shiny which is nice. Mother's is pretty good too. When armour all starts to evaporate it leaves a residue on your glass. BTW the gold class leather cleaner is nice. comes in spray bottle. the cream is too hard to work with.

Many, many people on this board use the Aerospace 303 product for frequent use on the interior. Trust me, you will look at Armor All like Malt Liquor after trying this stuff - it is that good. Check out their web site:

Clicky

I highly recommend it as it is the ONLY product that I have seen that can take the interior of your car back to a driven off the lot look.

Booster,

which 303 product exactly do you use on dash & door panels?

Can you safely use this product on a weekly basis?

Damn, I've been using the Zaino tire stuff on my interior bits. It works wonders on tires and rocks for interior applications. Nice and satiny with no stickyness or dust attraction.

Had never used 303 aerospace before. Decided to try it after the recommendations on the forum THIS STUFF ROCKS! Really helped my dash which was starting to look bad on the passenger side.
Nice low sheen and does not smear on the radio panel like other products.

I also have used the 303 product and love it. It repels dust on the dash and guages nicely. Also works great on tires. AND, I put it on my shift boot, and the squeaky noise I'd been getting completely went away!!

303 has a free sample available through their website. I just ordered it to give it a try.

I use 303 on the wifes miata top and inside and it rocks. It has the highest uv protection of any treatment I know of. My hot tub has been in the morning sun going on five years and the vinyl is still very supple. Good stuff.

Just wondering, is it necessary to use anything on the interior? I mean it looks great as it is and I don't think it really needs improving. What exactly are the protectants protecting you from? I believe the glass does a great job of screening out UV radiation. Sure the dashes of yesteryear had a nasty habit of cracking but I believe they have solved that problem with modern materials. Applying stuff on the interior sounds like you're asking for buildup since it wouldn't tend to ablate like exterior protectants. I'm think I'm just going to stick with a regular rub down with a California Duster.
