EEKKKK!!!! :o

I used that stuff once on the first car I had...never again...Wow.

Better use the seat belts when sitting in that thing. That'd be like sitting in a frying pan sprayed with Pam! Yikes!

One of the Armorall-sponsored Porsches lost several places at a Daytona 24-hour: they used the product on the body of the car, and when a conflict with another racer led to a need for body-work with racer tape, it wouldn't stick. They had to use a solvent on the body before they could effect repairs and rejoin the race.

I bought a gallon of Armorall in the early 70s, used it on everything. Vinyl top and plastic rear window on my TR7 was like new when I sold it after ten years. The only problem I ever had was the garage floor was pretty slippery for quit a while.

Otherwise, used per instructions (Generous spray, let it sit 12 hours or overnight, wipe down thoroughly), I still prefer it for plenty of vinyl and rubber uses, including tire sidewalls. Wouldn't use it on leather, though.

My wife likes to use it on her car's paint: not as shiny-bright as real polish and wax, but easy to clean and last a long time.

I remember when that stuff came out. In those days the interior of my Corvair was vinyl. I thought it was great stuff until I went to step on the brake and my foot slipped off. At least in those days I had quicker reflexes.

Theres enough there to do about 4-5 interiors. Thats just nuts. I could just see the back of someones pants or shirt after sitting in that.

I read years ago that Armor All was bad for the vinyl & plastic, so I quit using it. But wow, that guy is not afraid to use it, and a lot of it!!

When Armor All first came out it was hard on vinyl and it would crack. Before Armor All I used Pledge. Rick

TRUE STORY

called wife on a Friday morning and told her I was leaving work early. Asked if she wanted to clean up the motorcycle and make a weekend run to the mountains. She was estactic and said hurry home.

got home, loaded up...mtc looked great...went up the drive way and made r/hand turn....there we were, both us laying in the road w/ a mtc on top of us. Needless to say, no more Armor All at our house. Had to wipe down seat w/ alchol and went on our way for a laughing good time! That was back in the late 80's. :happy feet:

I always used armour all before a hot date. That way when I made a hard right turn she would end up in my lap. :D

Just like STP, makes everything feel smoother, quieter, longer! I've probably used a 55 gallon drum of Armor All in my lifetime. Used to bet on a bottle of Armor All and a bottle of 409 adding $200 to the price of any old used car i had for sale.......
