I'm just curious to know who here likes (or dislikes) the use of interior dressings such as Armorall, Meguires, etc.  

As a detailer (specifically a used car detailer now) I see all sorts of cars.  I clean up cars that come from the auction, and most of them have already been detailed and greasy dressing of some sort applied.  

I don't use any dressing on my own vehicles - I use Aerospace 303 protectant on my Impala and wife's Focus.  It leaves a low gloss and HELPS repel dust.  I don't really consider this stuff a "dressing".  

On the vehicles at work I use a product called "Fadeaway" from my supplier BOCAR, which is a thin white waterbased dressing that smells like coconut.  I'm sure this is a generic type of dressing because Carbrite (who I no longer do business with) had a very similar product.  I like to use it on GM, Ford, and other cheap plastic interiors to brighten them up a bit.   I also use this product on engine bays because it makes the plastic and rubber look like new (not just greasy) I also started using it on tires (before winter.. now I use nothing).

I used to love the LOW GLOSS armorall, but I can't find it anymore.

I love for the exterior to shine, but on the interior, it tends to distract me.  All I use is LEXOL LEATHER CONDITIONER on my seats, and the LEXOL VINYL PROTECTOR on the door panels, but the dash, I tend to just wipe it down with a microfiber rag and call it a day.

I use Lexol as well (on my car and at work- even though it's pricey).

If you haven't tried the Lexol cleaner yet- it's really good stuff.  I go through a fair bit of it at work.  It leaves the leather clean and soft, you almost don't need to use the conditioner afterwards.

I didn't know they made a Vinyl protector- is it a thin white liquid or thicker?

[3100MPFI]

thin, I think.  It has been a while since I used it.  It was in a BLUE bottle.

Same here, I use Lexol leather conditioner on my seats, but not havinig much money these days I been trying stuff that my moms boyfriend gets from work. can be used on leather, vinyl and even wood.

Brings out the shine in leather, makes the seats really soft, and gives my dash / door panels / interior trim a low gloss shine.

I also use Areospace and lexol on my cars.  Both products rock!  I also like armorall's leather gel conditioner.

The turtle wax F21 in the bright ass green bottle is my favorite, its not sick and greasy like amorall.

i use a rag with water, then another dry micro fibre towel to pick up anything left behind. nothing better than clean plastic when ur drivin towards the sun in the morning... who wants it to reflect in their face?
