Ok....so what is the best stuff to use for your dash and doors. Of course leather conditioner for seats and stuff. What is the best stuff for the dash and doors? I have used armor-all once and I don't want my stuff cracked!!

In general Zymbol products are excellent. Check this out: http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforu...3/t-11212.html It is on a Mercedes forum no less. Also check out Fleabay on this one: http://search.ebay.com/zymol-kit_W0QQfkrZ1QQfnuZ1

Meguiar's has always made good stuff also: http://www.detailsupplydepot.com/scr...OVMTC=standard

Hope this helps a little to get you in the right direction for quality car care products. Many other very good advanced polymer chemicals on the market today. Do yourself a favor, though, READ the back of the container of all such products before you buy. Some are a pain-in-the-butt to work with.

is it true that using armor all products on a mustang's dash will make it crack???? i just bought some but my friend told me its not good for the car he suggested turtle wax........opinions???
This has been an urban legend that has floated around for years. The original myth states that Armor All will make ANY dash crack. I don't think it's ever been proven/disproven. I've used it for years (starting with '87 Nissan Sentra) and not a crack anywhere on the vinyl or dash.

I wonder if Mythbusters would be interested in this one?
I have mythbusted it already. As long as you keep reapplying on a very regular basis, you are ok with Armor All. But if you let it go inbetween uses for a few or more weeks, then you are looking for touble. It does make the dash and leather crack, but if you make sure to do it once a week, then I think you are ok!
