Armor All Equivilent?? for longer lasting results??

[vx_commodore]

Hey all,
Just got a few questions.

First off, I Use Armor All Original on my dash and it comes up great but doesent last long!, Rubs off quickly so the great results are gone the next day,
I have used Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer but that dident even bring up a shine so that was a waste!
Is there anything that will give me the same shiny results as the Armor All but will last??

Secondly, im a bit short on knowledge when it comes to all the steps on wax,polish,seal process,
After i wash, then polish (or wax??) my car, is it worth using a seal product? (white car), If so whats a good brand/product to use?
Is Polish or Wax better for paint protection?

As i have white car i know there is not to much you can do to get a deap shine but i would like the paint to look newish for years to come so thats why i would like to understand a bit more about polish-waxes- and sealer's, I have never used a sealer as the shop's in my area lack in them area's so never really heard much about what is the best way to do things.

I wash my car often and polish every few months but im sure there is a better more lasting process of going about it all.

Thanx

First comes the wash, then the polish to bring up the shine then the wax to seal and protect the shine.

I would also like to know a replacement to armour all.

Looks like good stuff I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.

Best part is .. SPF40, no solvents/chemicals like armorall. Leaves a satin/matt factory like finish and protects without that greasy look! Also anti-static so doesn't collect dust!

Sounds like good stuff, was actually planning to go pick one up today, just gave em a call,
$11.50 for the 273ml and 19.50 for the 473ml.

So about $5 extra than armoral which isn't that bad for what's sounds to be like a great product.

Considering it outlasts it, and cannot do any harm but actually protect. Its a much safer choice for your car as well.

When I apply Armour All, the shine lasts for weeks.

I've been using Armour All in various cars on various dashboards for about 20 years. Never had an issue.

I've read about dashboards cracking when Armour All is used for extended periods of time. Load of rubbish if you ask me.

Do u park the car undercover or in a garage away from the sun?

Armorall does not block UV firstly. And this is very important for Australia due to our harsh climate.

Armorall does not seal or protect plastics/vinyls (DOP)

So by using armorall it will not protect your rubbers/plastics/vinyl and may increase the evaporation or wear rate of your rubber/plastics/vinyl and accelerate the
wear itself.

303 has UV protection and is not oil based, contains no silicones and will not dry out any surfaces that you put it on. Think of it as Sunscreen for your car.

You may as well just use silicone tyre shine as the product is not far different from armorall as such.

We definitely wouldn't recommend it for your car or boat.

Don't have a garage. Cars have always been parked out in the sun. Don't even use windscreen visor/covers on 40 degree days.

My dashboard looks the same as it did when it rolled out of the factory 14 years ago. Just cleaner and shinier thanks to Armorall.

That really worries me since that's always what i have used...
I just ran out of another bottle so perhaps ill look into something else.
Thanks for the heads up.
