What's the best product to clean and shine the dashboard?

I used the original Armor All, but I heard some people don't like it very much and so I was wondering if something else was better.

What do you guys use?

The black magic works great. Twice as better than Armor All IMO.

I use Meguairs also. I have heard that armor all can dry out the dash and make it crack sooner. Not sure if that was true though.

The stuff I really like is black magic. Not the normal interior type but they used to have a real thick kind. The stuff was almost as thick as jelly. I would put it on the dash and it would last for weeks in the sun. I don't see it at many stores much anymore. does anyone know what the name of it was?

For shining, I've used the Meguiar's stuff before, it smells kinda funny but it works great!

For cleaning, I have used Westley's Bleche-White before, but you've gotta be careful to keep it away from the carpeted parts of the dash, and also the white paint marks on the power mirror, lock and window switches! It'll eat that paint right off, trust me! :nuts: But it works great and if you 'rinse' the panel off afterwards with a damp towel to remove the residue it's harmless.
