Ok, I guess I'll be a dissenting vote again. I've got a '67 Mustang that's had Armoll All on the dash for over 20 years and it hasn't cracked yet. My '83 Mustang cracked within 10 years.
Maybe it's not the product that's the problem, maybe it's the quality of the vinyl that's the problem.

and everything but the leaky slider window.

Mods: Duraliner bedliner, Bugflector II, Hide-a-hooks.
& a leeetle chrome tip on the exhaust.

Not in my estimation.
I've used Armor All since the early 70's and have never had anything crack on any of my cars. I had two 73 Corvettes that I kept for 25 years in AZ, then TX and finally IA without a problem and always kept a light coating of ArmorAll on the dash and seats.
On my HD/F-150, I don't use any Armor All on the interior as I think the shininess does take away aesthetically from the good looks.
