ok here is a simple question for you go look at a brand new s2000

is the dash shiney?

yes or no

your dashboard is not designed to be glossy nor slippery AA is also known to give off fumes that will leave your windshield hazy. over time the petroleum distallates will break down the plastics in your dash.

Need I go on?

Get the 303 its water based and will leave a non greasy non shiney uv protectant on your dash .

Agree---and the 303 makes the color look deep like AA---just not "slippery".
I used AA for about 25 years and just switched to 303 on all my (and my kid's) cars and boats about 5 years ago---much better than AA.
it's also recommended (along with Raggtop) for convertible tops---the UV shield in it is really good for the top and it makes it dark and rich looking like AA would

I used the AA wipes ONCE. Threw the bottle away after that. It dried out my dash and made it look dull and patchy. Don't use.

I only use the Armor All wipes for the engine bay plastics. Only because I bought a big case a long time ago for my other car. Never again.

DO NOT USE!!!!!!! armor all had silicon in it, and if you damage your interior it is almost impossible to do a repair to the leather because most repair compounds will not bond to silicon. Along witht the fact that it will destroy your interior a lot faster then using a natural leather conditioner.

^ Agreed ... also avoid all spray on waxes that have silicone in it.

dont do it, petroleum distallates are not what you want to coat your dash with.

THIS is what you want to use.
I love the 303 Aerospace stuff. Works wonders!
