What do you recommend for cleaning the interior of the car, mainly the dash, center console, etc. I hate Armor All but it seems to be a popular product but I know there is better so what is it?

Adams or Zanio

In order to clean it I like Optimum Power Clean diluted 3:1 - 10:1 depending on how dirty the interior is. And I like 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium in order to dress it. It leaves a nice matte color with low or no sheen. Mother's VLR comes in a close second for me. It cleans and protects and can be found OTC. You can wipe it down to the sheen of your liking but I can't get it to be shiny at all which is what I like.

I don't like shiny. Just want something to get the dust and hair (dog) off of it and protect it.

If you don't want to order anything I would suggest going with Mother's VLR. You can buy it at most autoparts stores. I usually get it at Autozone. It's the cheapest route too.

Another great thing about it is that you can use it on leather.

The companies I listed will not give you a shine and protect your car.

Bigger question is why do you have a DOG in your CAMARO! LOL

Oh man, I knew someone was going to ask that! He doesn't ride it on a regular basis but he does ride in it. He has to get groomed, go to the vet, etc. He just went on vk with us and I'm about to go on a 800 mile road trip with him and my pet snake, all in the camaro! Moving to Indiana. I can't seem to get all his hair out of the car from the vk trip.

Welcome to the Hoosier State!

P.S. You are now forewarned that we have a ton of potholes from winter time....

A good trick to remove dog hair is get some nitrile or rubber gloves get them or the area wet and massage the area in a circular motion. The hair will clump up and you can pick it right up. It does take some time but the best way.

I have used the meguiar's natural shine spray for all the black interior plastic and it does a great job with out leaving a film or making it shiny. just makes it look like new.

Thanks! I use Meguiars products so this is great. I really like their other products so maybe I'll try this.
