from what i've heard the best thing to use to clean things like dash pad, and other plastics, ISNT armorall. Armorall is apparently oil based and as such if u use too much or leave it in hot sun, it 'cooks/bakes' the plastic. The best thing to use is a damp chamois, just to wipe down the plastic, also dont use armorall on the plastic on the instrument cluster as it may turn it a misty white colour.
This info was passed on to me when i bought my vectra from holden and we asked what we should use to clean it.
I always use Meguiars Softwash gel, even on my old sprinter, and use like an old towel constantly rinsed, so ur not dragging dirt particles all over the car. And the best way to wash is from clean to dirty, ie. start on the cleaner parts of the car and work ur way to the underside/mudflaps, once again to prevent dirt particles dragging over the car. First thing i always do is rinse the car with plenty of water.
One thing i do , sometimes ,is i take a bucket, some old towels, chamois, and softgel, to the local carlovers and just use their high pressure water and wash the car there for like $6.
