do you have some super delux Yaris? because everyone evermade has a hard plastic dash, not vinyl.... the statement you made is true about armor all, but it is not relivent to our cars since Toyota does not use cheep vinyl on our car

hahah, sorry, i used the words vinyl and plastic interchangeably, since everyones interior panels are either one or the other. and most products out there designed for interior detailing are designed for both vinyl and plastic (ABS molded plastics, i believe). but yeah, just AVOID armor-all!
