Interior protectant - what to use?

[GMJAP]

I've searched through the forums here, and there seems to be quite a few conflicting opinions on what's best to protect/renew the interior trim with. Some swear by Armor-All, some swear at it.So, what have you found to be the best, and why? What didn't you like, and why?Also, any verdict on using these products on the "chrome" trim? (around radio, mirror buttons, around door window buttons...)

I used to use it religiously without a problem... It only took one time, however, where the application botched somehow and I was left with said film. Then I switched.I used a product called Trim Shine for Interior Surfaces, by Stoner -- the same company that makes Invisible Glass. It worked nicely, and left an amazing gloss which lasted about a month or two...quite a long time when you consider the average longevity of these products...

I use Mother's Preserve...and gives it that nice clean shine...and it smells good too.

Most of those who like Armor-All seem to have been using the low-gloss formula they have out. I like the regular formula that comes in the plastic can like baby wipes. When it evaporates, the dash surfaces look like they've been moisurized but without an over-glossed look to them. I use the Armor-All wipes on all the plasic interior trim, like the A and B pillars, the armrest and the whole stand that is under it, around the rear side windows (the C-pillar), the door trim, and on either side of the rear seats. I like to use window cleaner on the interior "chrome" pieces.It seems to work well as long as I'm generous about using the wipes.
