    What does everyone use to wipe down your dash pad ? I hear that armorall dries them out so I don't use it. What about 303 ?

    I use Meguiar's vinyl cleaner. That's all I use.

    I used the Meguiar's wipes once and it worked alright.. That's all I've tried. Didn't damage anything at least.

    Maverick75 I got a little bottle of that in a goody bag and wiped some on my kick panels. Cleaned them right-up. Thanks Rick

    I used Armorall practically daily on my '73 when I owned it from 1984-89. When I found it at the junkyard in 2007, the dash pad was in pristine condition, about the only thing on the car that did not need replacing.

    I swear by the stuff. I've used it on every car and truck since and I'm using it on my Mustang's dash.

    I use Meguires and it seems to work well. I never noticed any really big smell, good or bad.

    I personally have never had a problem with ArmorAll, but I stopped using it a long time ago after several friends did. Dash pad failures happen a lot to Florida cars.

    i've also used armorall for as long as i've ben driving.i had a 72 duece and a quarter when i was young.we'd go through almost a whole bottle doing that car.between the interior and the vinyl top.the seats,dash top, vinyl top etc were like brand new when i sold it.plus i love the way armorall and miller lite smell together.there's nothing wrong with armorall in mu book.everyone has their own experiences though.
