    I want a great looking dash.

    I once had a car that i put Armour All on every week & it looked great UNTIL it cracked.
    I was told the Armour All that was suposed to protect it is what caused it to crack.
    I have a new car now & want to know what is safe to use on the dash ?
    Tire shine also.

    I doubt the Armor All had anything to do with it cracking. More likely the plastic was going to crack either way.

    I like to use the Meguiars Supreme Shine on my interior. You can dust with the QID first, or use some APC if stronger cleaning is needed.

    Armor All is not what caused your dash to crack - that's one of those myths that just refuses to die. If you want something that will dry totally dry to the touch and offer good UV protection and even some Scotch Gard protection, our Natural Shine and Supreme Shine products would be the way to go. Supreme Shine will leave a higher gloss than Natural Shine will, but both will dry totally dry to the touch so you avoid that greasy, slippery feeling. We always recommend spraying the product onto an applicator and then applying to the surface rather than spraying directly onto the dash, door panels, etc just to avoid having to clean up overspray from glass, instrument clusters, etc.

    As for tire shine, depending on whether you want high shine, low shine, or if you like aerosol, gel or trigger spray we've got you covered. Endurance Gel is hugely popular, offers a deep black appearance and lasts quite a long time. Endurance Trigger won't give quite as much shine or last quite as long, but some people just don't like dealing with a gel so this works better for them. Hot Shine Tire Spray should give even more gloss, if that's what you're after.

    Try the Ultimate Protectant. Works and smells awesome. You can use it on your tires as well.
