Introducing Product Advice Day, where we’re shining a light on the good, the bad, and the ugly of car interior cleaning products!
There’s no shortage of products promising to make your ride look brand new, but let’s steer clear of one major culprit: ArmorAll.
Sure, it gives you that new-car shine and glossy finish, but trust us, it’s a ticking time bomb for your interior.
Over time, it can turn your car’s plastics and vinyl into a cracked, discolored mess. Yikes! It’s like buying cheap shoes that fall apart after one wear.
The reason we recommend against it is that ArmorAll can deteriorate those materials, leaving you with a dashboard that’s more flaky than a pastry.
Now, we know it’s tempting, especially at the price point, but think twice before reaching for that bottle.
Instead, try this hack: mix 2-3 drops of Dawn dish soap with water in a spray bottle. It’s a quick fix that’ll degrease your car’s interior without turning it into a science experiment gone wrong!
