armor all is bad. it has silicon, which will make your rubber parts crack over time.

i just get my car steam cleaned. my body shop does it for me for free sometimes

If Armor All is bad then what would you use for the interior?

Simple green, couple of rags, toothbrush, hose and some time. Like airon said basically, if your anal it'll take you a long time.

Also if you have an air compressor you can use that to cdry the engine bay.
