I used to use Armour All, but only on my tires. Then I started using that Meguiar's tire gel stuff (lasts a LOT longer) on the tires.
IMO, Armour All is really bad for the interior. It really doesn't seem to "clean" anything. It just covers with chemical. I think you'll notice that with time, it will discolor the plastic parts and dash.

I use a damp, lint-free cloth. I hate any type of "gloss" or "shine" (especially on the dash). My windows are tinted and I use a sunshade. 20 years of owning cars and I never had a problem with discoloration/fading/cracking in any of my interiors. At the most I'll use a mild soap if needed for certain spots.

I don't like using Armor All on the dash because it creates a glare on the windshield during sunny days. Also, my car gets dirty faster when I use armor all as opposed to just wiping it off with a towel and water. The oily coating armor all leaves attracts dust and looks nasty after a week IMO.

I use Formula 2001 and have used it for nearly 5 years. It works great. I originally used it on my Acura, which I have seen since and the dash is still in perfect condition, even after not being treated well at all since I sold it.
Because it creates a shine, there will be some glare on really sunny days. It's not that bad though because 2001 doesn't give the dash a really high shine, just a good clean look. I like it that way. I tried just using a damp cloth or other variants and none of them worked nearly as well, IMO.

I'd stay away from the armor-all, something with the silcone in armor-all will break down the material if you stop using it (or so I read).
Ive always used lexol vinylex, does a good job protecting and doesn't leave a big grease ball of a dash.

stay away from armor all, it makes the plastic fade in time, and makes everything feel very greasy. try meguiars their interior shine gives a shine, but not enough to blind you if sun reflects it, and you wont have that nasty feel to it. the only down fall is that no matter what company you go with dust just loves it. your dash will be covered with dust really quickly.
