Re: [Chrysler300] Armor-all warning - Windshield Rubber

I have known for 25 years that this stuff is crap. If used on your interior, not only does it turn black vinyl sort of a gold color it also fogs your windows when evaporating with this greasy film that is impossible to remove. On tires it also discolor them and gives this greasy oily look.

I once had my old Corvette repaired at a first class body shop and when I picked it up they had done me the favor of doing my entire interior in Armor All for me. After I came down from the ceiling the owner agreed to clean it up which he did. Took them a full day in the detail shop to get this stuff out.

A few years later I was visiting with this owner and he axed me if I remember this incident. I said how good I forget. He said then that my uproar had reminded him of a problem that he had been unable to resolve in that often in his very expensive paint jobs they would get "fisheyes" in the finish.

He had had a number of consultants and paint folks in to help him resolve this to no success. My complaint had caused him to go to his detail shop which was a separate large room in his building and he noted that the ventilation system was shared with the paint area. You can guess the rest of the story. Case Closed.

I use Protectant 303 and find it excellent for interiors and exterior rubber and on tires. Low gloss satin finish, does not stain windows and offers good UV protection. Hard to find but very good stuff.

To All: 

I hate to put a bad rap on any product but I have also heard horror stories about Armor-All. 

When I called the place that manufactures new dash pads called "Just Dashes", they said to never use Armor-All on your dash or any vinyl. 

I asked what they recommended to use on their new dash pads and they told me to use Pledge furniture polish / wax.
