In my opinion you should forget Armor All - it has silicone oil in it which
actually attracts dirt and dust. It also clogs the vinyl surface and causes
dirt buildup and will interfere with the vinyl's ability to breathe (if
appropriate - e.g., nose bra). I believe it may also have petroleum
distillates, alcohol or other bad stuff in it (don't have any laying around so
I can't confirm). Try a product call "303" made by a company called 303
Products in Palo Cedro, CA - its better, it's biodegradable, it provides UV
protection and it's anti static (no dust). If you must use Armor All - save
it for you tire sidewalls.

Joseph,
I'd clean it with soap, water and a soft bristle brush. That will get it good
and clean. If it's not shiny enough, apply Armor All.
An alternative to the Armor All would be a coat of clear coat, although this
could get complicated if it didn't stick to the unsanded wrinkle paint. If
you decide to do the the clear coat, get some wax remover at your local
automotive paint store. That dash will have to be absolutely clean or your
going to have "fisheyes".
All of that said, I think I'd stick to the Armor All once a month.
