Armor all question?

[Coastalf350]

I recently stumbled along this great forum. After looking through a bunch of post I come to the conclusion that a lot of yall dont like armor all. Why is it so frowned upon?

It's cheap, ( I didn't say inexpensive), short lasting and just plain junk for the most part

[spiralout462]

I am assuming you are referring to the original vinyl dressing that Armor All produces, if so.................The smell is horrible, it doesn't last, it's a greasy mess that attracts dirt. It also provides a look that doesn't suit my taste. That's all I can think of right now.

The original version was silicone based and caused some damage over time. The newer formulas are said to be different.

[zmcgovern45]

Besides the fact that it (supposedly) used to be a silicone based product that caused damage over time...

There are simply MUCH better products than ANY of the Armor All branded products... whether it is interior dressing or tire shine.

Also, many of the high quality, professional grade alternatives do not cost more than what local retailers are asking for armor all products.

Factory plastics = matte finish.

Armor All = glossy snot.

I used Armor-All for a long time but as I continued to detail I found much better.
For just a little more money you could go with Chemical Guys Super VRP to dress your tires, it's water based and dries to the touch in seconds.

It's not oily so you can use it on your interiors plastics, dash, etc.
If you like Armor-All then that's all what is important.
Don't let anyone tell you it's no good if you like it :dblthumb2:

I dont like it but its the only choice I have around here. (Own no credit or dept card to order online)

[allenk4]

PayPal can debit directly from a checking account

[HateSwirls]

Then you do what you can :dblthumb2:
It's better than nothing, so for now use it:dblthumb2:
Don't you have Meg's Endurence in your area?

Please don't count me as one of the folks on
this great forum that doesn't like ArmorAll.

As such: I also do not frown upon it.

Well said and I'll add that its cracked many dashboards of cars from the 60's and 70's....rumor has it, LOL! It has also been known to cause blindness when applied to the dashboards too! There is a good use for it though, spraying your plastic wheelwell liners, might not last that long but until you drive in the rain it looks fine.

Thanks for the idea. I have been tempted to throw out my old bottle of armor all but I will use it for wheel wells of trucks ect. I have two 32 oz bottles that I was given.
