Soap and water is your best friend.

careful with the soap. it can dry out your vinyl and make it look faded and shit. i use armorall about once every couple months and windex every couple weeks. careful not to use too much cuz cleaning fluids smell bad.

Amour All every so often and a microfibre cloth weekly to get rid of dust. Would highly recommend both.

Armorall is evil shit. In the hot sun, it emits a vapour that ends up greasing up the windows. I'm not sure if it's in the Armorall or how it reacts with vinyl that causes the greasey film.

For weekly dusting, try using a Swiffer. It works great and you can re-use it many times.

Your windshield will glaze with or without armour all-especially if its a newer car. Gotta clean the inside of your windshield d00d :tongue: :poosie:

Actually, I discovered this Armorall problem with my older cars. Maybe it's the older vinyl or the Armorall was past its best-before date (if it has one).

I've avoided using it in my newer cars and haven't had problems since, but I clean the insides of all my windows every 2 to 3 weeks.
