Vynil cleaning and restoration tips...

Hey guys.

What's the best thing to use to bring the rich shiny glossy blackness back to vynil. i heard you shouldnt use those armorall dash protectants because if you dont keep it up, it will dry out.

also leather momo steering wheels? ive owned the wheel for 3 years and never needed to treat it, but if i were to want to make it look nice and richly black again what do you guys reccomend?

someone told me silicon spray would do fine, but it builds up static electricity...

ideas?

i never thought of that - but what will happen if its not applied regularly enough? apparently armorall is bad if you dont use it often - or am i wrong?

I don't know the good or bad points of Pledge wipes, but that's what I use. I settled on those because Armour All is too slick and glassy for my taste.

i do use the armor all cleaning wipes. it leaves it deep and glossy. maybe i shouldnt use it, but i constantly clean the dash with em, so maybe mine wont dry out.
