I've used Armorall for years, but I would prefer something that's less greasy, less shiny and coats the surface uniform when you apply (Armorall, especially the gel version tends to concentrate in areas the rag hits first - especially on hard plastic, requiring lots of buffing to get a uniform coat).
Please recommend a product that sprays on uniform and easily rubs in consistantly.
Thanks

My favorite is Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. I spray it on a MF and wipe it on. It doesn't streak and above all, leaves the dash looking new with no shiny gloss to cause glare. The product does provide UVA and UVB protection and has almost no odor. It's also readily available at most auto supply stores as well as at Walmart and Target.

Here are a few that will work on the interior of your vehicle.
Optimum Protectant Plus is another innovative product from Optimum that cleans, restores, and protects leather surfaces, vinyl surfaces, and moldings. Optimum Protectant Plus has a balance of cleaners, penetrating oils, and UV inhibitors that restores the original color of these surfaces, protects against and hides any scratches, and protects against sun damage.

BLACKFIRE Micro-engineered Interior Protectant enhances and protects vinyl and moisturizes and protects leather. It functions as a leather conditioner, a vinyl protectant and a multi-surface, interior protectant! Use Micro-engineered Interior Protectant to enhance and protect interior wood accent strips, polished and satin metals, plastic panels and cup holders. It is a 100% water-based formula containing no oils, no alcohols and no petroleum distillates. There is nothing to dry out leather or deteriorate stitching. Micro-engineered Interior Protectant is perfectly pH-balanced (7) to match the pH requirements of leather. After treatment, a micro-fine moisture barrier remains on the surface to resist perspiration stains and help retard UV-induced fading.

This is a superior protectant formulated to maintain and protect all vinyl and plastic in or on your car longer than the competition.
Lexol Premium Protectant provides superior protection with DH-60 UV sunscreen which blocks harmful ultra-violet rays to prevent fading, discoloration and premature aging of all your surfaces.
Lexol's professional grade long lasting formula brings out the original lustrous finish and helps prevent cracking.

Vinyl rubber care is an excellent product when it comes to conditioning the plastics and vinyl areas of the interior. Easy to use, won't have the shinny film you see with armor-all, it's water based so it doesn't build up over each application, and it created a soft shine without a high gloss.

Cockpit Premium is an amazing product that protects and cleans at the same time. Think of it as a detail spray for the interior. For the subsequent weeks that you care for your interior, after a simple vacuum, you spray the cockpit on a microfiber towel and begin wiping and dusting the interior. You can use it on all surfaces, nav screen, etc. Great on getting smudges of your laptop as well.

I would also suggest the 303 Aerospace Protectant or the Optimum (OPT) Protectant Plus. Both provide great UV protection and a like new appearance without the glossy and oily appearance. Best of all the Optimum (OPT) products are 25% off at Detailed Image through 2/28 if interested.
