No Need for Armor All

A damp micro fibre cloth is all my car detailer uses. He's found that Armor All and similar products leave a greasy film that shows up fingerprints and attracts dust. He also says that plastic dashboards in modern day cars (last 20 years) don't need the Armorall type protection that older cars need.

​Generic Vaseline is a Cheaper Armor All Substitute

​You can buy in Coles a cheaper brand of Vaseline, I can't remember what it cost me now and it was a larger jar, anyway you put a bit on a clean cloth and rub it in with another clean cloth polish it and you will see the same results but cheaper.

MOO Furniture Polish Instead of Expensive Armor All

​Use MOO glass Cleaner or MOO Furniture Polish. Works wonders on the interior. It will also stop the 'fogging' on the windscreen from the silicone when it gets hot in the car.
