Headlight haze, leather questions - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm curious as to what you've found works best to care for the following in your Avalon:

Leather?- tons of products, what really works for you?

Headlights? - How to I keep them from hazing up? I was told that this is due to sunlight, ultraviolet rays.
Will wax work? Or Armorall?

Dash?- Is Armorall still the best for this on the dash & vinyl?

Glass- I usually use RainX. Do you use RainX on the sunroof? I assume glass is glass, but I don't know.

Thanks so much for your opinions.

You can go to the Toyota Detailing & Car Care forum for your best answers. Many knowledgable people there. For dash and trim, I've used Aerospace 303 Protectant, recommended in the detailing forum. Great stuff! http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/fo...play.php?f=101

!! Armor All was never the best for dash! It is petroleum based.

go with Aerospace

I hate armor all as much as I hate rain x. Garbage.

I've tried a couple of headlight kits with high grit wet sanding and plastic polishes. Not really worth my time. However, had a pro do some on my Nissa and am still not happy. I'm going to buy new ones.

I can understand not liking ArmorAll, or even those tire shine products... but why be a RainX hater? You're not ingesting it, are you? The stuff works for how its intended. It's kind of like hating WD-40 for being a bad lubricant... it's a water displacer.

Rain X is a magnet for dirt. It leaves a disgusting film on your windshield that attracts all sorts of pollutants and crap. Long after it stops repelling rain theres a film there collecting dirt.
