Black shoe polish will almost certainly rub off on your clothes. I've used
ArmorAll on the dash top vinyl but it makes it a bit glossy and
counter-productive. I used to use it on rubber bumpers as well, but then
found Turtle Black Chrome much more effective and longer lasting. That
*won't* rub off (once polished), as I found when I inadvertently got a bit
on the paintwork. I haven't used it on the centre console (don't want it to
look like a tart's boudoir ;o)) but it is certainly effective on the several
different materials used in the external black trim on my 89 Celica.
