Hey, when you got a quality car like a Dodge Dart, every little flaw is magnified a thousand times; IOW, just about what it cost in $$Brandon wrote:Really? I never had a problem with it...Henry wrote:I cringe. I'd use dish liquid (diluted w/water) or any of the household spray cleaners like 409 or a newer, similar "green" product before I'd touch anything with Armor All, which made a real cracked mess of the vinyl dash on my '70 Dodge Dart.

BTW, d'ja notice that Chrysler is reviving the Dart badge next model year? Gotta get in line for that one. On second thought, it's gotta be better than the old one!

You can condition leather, and possibly leather like products, with generic hand lotion.

I've had good luck with a product called Leather Saver made by Preservation Solutions.

The purchase of a Genuine Victrola closes the Avenue of Future Regret.

GoJo or Fast Orange hand cleaner (without pumice) also works well to clean wood phono cases that you don't need to strip or re-finish. It cleans all of the old crud off with no adverse effects...
