Never use armor all.

Find a detailing shop and ask them what they use and what they will sell you.

I use baby oil on mine. It smells alot like suntan lotion for a little while but will help put some moisture back into the dashpad.

Yep, absolutely no silicone or alcohol based products. I like J+J baby oil, it lifts the dirt out of the pores and keeps the vinyl happy.

Baby oil...

Just lay an old towel on top of the pad and soak with with oil. Let it sit for a couple days keeping the towel and dash pad wet. The fade with wipe away once the oil soaks in.

Baby oil won't crack the vinyl??? Being it is oil I just use plain water to clean mine. I would like to put something on it but, I don't want it to get a bunch of cracks from the heat. I have cracks on the speaker area already.

Also I have heard people at car shows who say to use pledge furniture polish also. I have never used it myself though. I use the baby oil.
