Armour All isn't a very good thing to use. It moistens the surface for a while, but then dries it out even more than before. Just a little tip I got from a very reputable paint and body man. He suggested Meguires, or some other product. I can't remember exactly what was in the Armour All that did this, but I could try to find out.

Armol all is bad stuff.. the stuff I was turned onto years ago but stopped using mainly cuzz it was spendy ....it is used in the Avation industry and is called "303 protectant" it is what they whip there stuff down with and UV's dont break it down..It had a nice satin look to it..I had a case but used it up years ago....I should probably look online bet we can find it reasonable now...

Propertylogic,

-----------Go to the NCRS (National Corvette Restorers Society) website and ask away, as those guys know everything there is to know about Vettes. The older the better, as most of them are really ancient. Even older than me!!!!!!........Bill S

Sorry,back to the Armor All....I had to share this after the interior stories...

My friend is a car cuy as well as a Cop.He likes to Armor All the crap out of the rear of his cruiser.Seats and rubber floor.....Just imagine a pain in the a$$ guest,hand cuffs,and a faster than normal ride with an abrupt stop.Talk about putting someone in their place.....

I've heard all the bad things about Armor All. In fact, the manufacturer of the tonneau conver on our truck specifically mentions Armor All as a product not to be used. On the other hand Dennis has been using the stuff for 30 years and his car is still good. I had a vinyl top car and the top looked much better than the car and it was always treated with Armor All. Curious.

Bill Porterfield used Armor All on the tires on the Berger ZL1 for years. The outside where he used it had no cracks but the inside where none was used they were dried and cracked.
