Can someone recommend a good oil-free (non-armorall) interior dressing?

I use Mothers. It says it's non oily and uses silicon emulsion, other than that I have no idea if it's really oil free.



Works good.

the whole point of interior dressing is the silicone, or "grease " as you call it that protects the surfaces.



There are some "body shop safe" silicone free dressings, but you would have to check a local auto detail supply store for that kind of thing.

I was at a full-service car wash, they used a product that was 'oil free' or some ****, said it was better for the surfaces than armorall. Just curious.

the surfaces need the silicone to keep them from drying out



maybe they were using a body shop safe dressing, either way your not

getting the protection of the silicone.



by the way- armorall is garbage compared to a good silicone based dressing, armorall has some alcohol in it, which is pretty useless.

Maybe that's what they were referring to. So I understand that the vinyl needs to be protected, but what about the plastic trim? is it necessary to dress those as well? or is that just done for aesthetics?

the plastic benefits as well, keeps it from being brittle and keeps

the sun from beating the crap out of it
