Armor All ; STP; or what?
I've read that once you use Armor All on your dash, you have to keep using it. If you stop, over time the dash will dry and crack. Do you guys know if there's any other protectant that won't harm the dash?

303 Protectant
is highly rated. It does not contain any silicone. Much better than Armor-All, IMO. I used Armor-All on my last car for over 5 years, and all the vinyl surfaces looks like crap. No cracking, but very dull and 'dry' looking.
The 303 is expensive, about $13 or $14, but worth it. I won't use anything else on my Max.

Turtle Wax Formula 2001 is good stuff...
The main thing is you really want something with good UV ray protection.
The Meguirs is really good too. You just really want something with good UV ray protection though. My gripe with Armor All is it doesnt make a really good shine and tends to soak up the sun (even though they claim UV protection).

Thanks for the tip

Straight Meguairs here (they have a UV Dash spray that works quite well and doesn't shine like a mirror)
