cleaning the dash
has anyone cleaned the dash yet? it looks like it might be a pain because of the little holes and the material. will armor all be alright?? any feedback would be appreciated.

I used a small wash towel with warm water to get out people's feet marks on the dash. then air dried it and dusted it with a magic duster thingamajig. works well or you can do the california duster which also works.

Agreed, stay away from armor all. I forget the brand that i'm currently using but its either Mother's or Meguires. The secret in not getting it to look so messy or oily is to take a damp cloth (squeezed of excess water) and spray the rubber/plastic spray onto the cloth and then wipe away. You can then go over it with a dry cloth to remove any excess. It leaves it a nice black/grey color without being overly shiny and overly wet/oily.

the new york car dusters are those guys at stop lights that aren't wearing shoes. they used to clean my jettas windsheild all the time. then as i drove off the would do a little dance and throw things. my friend said they expected money i thought the city paid them. go figure.

Armor-all will tend to leach out the platicizers in plastic surfaces, rendering them brittle with time. If you forget to treat the surface for a few months you will not be happy. If you use it regularly, great, but once used you're an addict!

Armour Crap
Do NOT USE ARMOUR ALL please stay away. I used to do paint and body work and the one thing everyone knows is to stay away from that ____. What it does is it looks nice a first and then just like skin it penetrates and goes into pores in plastic. Yes even plastic has pores. It then dries out making you think "OH I need more ARMOUR ALL" and that is where they get you. 1.You put it on 2. it dries 3. you keep applying it 4. it dries. Nothing workes better than a duster or a nice non-abrasive damp cloth. :D
