I also have used Armor-All with good success...HOWEVER...those of you
with sensitive sniffers will notice that the Armor-All on interior plastic
surfaces (such as the top of the dashboard) makes the car smell like
the inside of a Cat litter box (URINE)...I didn't belive this when I
first was asking the same kind of question as the original poster...
NOW (two years after the first application) I drive around with the
windows open a lot.  It isn't extremely strong but it's there....
commercial car deodorizers don't seem to help either.
