Their goal is to sell product, not protect your car. The Armorall used on dashes/plastic actually removes paint over time...most of the plastic inside cars are actually painted plastic (all the vents in a BMW are painted plastic and armor all will cause bubbling/pealing) For my car interior I use the following: Carpets: Dilute Simple Green in a steam cleaner Leather: Lexol Leather Cleaner/Leather Conditioner (follow directions!) Vinal/Plastic/Rubber: Lexol Vinylex Glass: Windex The Lexol products are great, and the treatments last (I do my leather once a year) although I've heard you don't want to use the leather cleaner/conditioner on perforated leather.
