Armorall Protectant and Washi

So, I wanted to do a quick interior shine/clean so I stop at the 7-11 and picked up those Armorall Protectant wipes, and I was wondering if it is safe to wipe the Washi Aluminum trim with this? I deffinantly not using it on any clear plastics etc or leather, but I wasnt sure about the trim, also is it safe to wipe everything but leather and clear plastic, including the AC/Radio Controls etc?
If this isnt good to wipe the Washi with, what do you guys recommend?

The Washi is aluminum, so you will not harm it at all.

But as a general rule, Armorall is crap. It dries out leather and any porus surface it touches. Get some Optimum OPT or 303 Aerospace. Both are cheap and can be used on all your interior surfaces. Neither will leave everything greesey either like Armorall does.

I use my OPT on everything, just general mist and wipe.

DO NOT ever put Armorall on your leather. It is crap and actually dries out the leather.
