My wife uses the Armorall Wipes. She likes them alot. This spring she`ll try other products but so far she has used Armorall exclusively.
To clean: use woolite and water diluted 6:1, if really nasty use any APC and water diluted 10:1.
To protect: Adams VRT and Wolfgang are my favs.

Poorboy`s Natural Look is both a cleaner and protectant. It also states that it contains a patented UV protectant.
General consensus is to go for water-based dressings, as opposed to pd based, so as to help avoid drying out the dash/plasticizers.
I also use an APC if the surface is really bad.

I have used the wolfgand two step and found it to be really nice also BUT.. I tested the sonus cockpit spray and found it is very good nice smalling and you can go from the vinyl dash to plastic parts without a problem and no greasy feeling.

Check out One Grand Product interior preserver.
I dont like the cherry smell that much, but man the stuff leaves a nice satin finsh that last for months. Has UV SPF 45 I believe.

You know, I like the APC and Woolite mix followed by Adam`s VRT. But I have to say, Optima Protectant Plus is a super product. It cleans and protects both vinyl and leather. I don`t think it will clean really dirty cars, but overall, I was impressed with it. It`s nice when you are strapped for time (or feeling lazy) using just one product.

I would say 303 Aerospace protectant. I love how it blocks UV rays better than anything else.

I like the armorall wipes to quickly wipe down the surface and then i use Natual Look for the final touch :)

Typically I`ll use 303 especially down here in the HOT Texas sun but recently tried the new Klasse VLR. It`s a cleaner/protectant combo 1 step product that`s more viscous like an oil than the 303 liquid. Seems great as a cleaner and leaves more of a satin finish than the flat 303 - depends on what you`re looking for...both are OUTSTANDING!
