    Cleaning product rec for dash and interior plastic

    I'm looking to clean the 30 year old layers of grime of my dash and plastic on the console and interior.

    Can someone recommend a good cleaning product that won't damage the brittle old parts?

    I know nothing about this, and my knowledge consists of armor all, which I'm told has alcohol which dries things out and isn't the best?

    any rec's?

    I use 303 cleaner and 303 protectant. Seems to be working well.

      Armor-all has it's place, and it's more for rubber. (there is a whole world of plastics and rubber)

      But 303 is good stuff.

      Don't do what I did back in the day, and soak your interior in armaorall. It off gasses, and will coat your windows in a greasy film for years.

          I used Chemical Guys - Nonsense in various strengths, followed by VRP protectant, with follow-up cleanings spaced a week or two apart. Took my time, multiple cleanings, did not scrub too hard or leave the cleaner on too long. Since then I've switched to Griot's line of car care products. I think both have good lines and will do well when used with care.

            Malco leather and plastic cleaner, spray it on and wipe it off. It makes grease and grime run off almost immediately.

            Here is a link to my instagram, its a video of me using it. I work on small engines, cars and go to the junkyard alot.





            After using that, use a good protectant (no recommendation).
