These are what I use and they're great. They don't leave the oily film that armorall tends to.

quick bit of advice, dont use armor-all to detail the interior of any car. in long term use, armor-all actually dries out the vinyl and causes cracking. also, you shouldnt be seeking a shiny interior. the only thing that shine will do is cause glare on your windshield, reducing your visibilty. you want a product that will moisturize your interior vinyl, and contain some sort of UV protectant to prevent fading. keep the shine on the outside of the car!! not to peddle products, but i use meguiars vinyl treatment. minimal shine, cleans out grease and grime, and leaves a pearlescent layer for UV protection. good stuff...

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!

Yup, works best, even if it is just soap and water on a rag.
