i vacuum it with a soft bristle attachment first, then wipe down with a microfiber cloth dampened with warm water and a bit of clear ammonia.

:thumbsdown: For the love of God don't use Armour All. It's full of silicon and does more damage than good. You can read a thread on it here from pro detailers.I use this: Cockpit Premium, but as others have said, Aerospace 303 is good too.

Vynilex here, just apply a good amount, let it sit for a couple hours and wipe down with a damp cloth. Takes it back to brand new every time (look and feel) also very good for the plastic as well look to Lexol.com for more data on this stuff.
