Is it safe to use 25+ year old armor all protectant?

I know everyone here hates armor all,

I certainly don't!!

It makes it so greasy/shiny that it is dangerous to drive with.

Just like every similarly formulated "protectant-product":
There are application directions that, when followed judiciously, will not allow for these conditions to occur.

I'd use it to dress the wheelwells

I know everyone here hates armor all, but I have used it from the mid 90's on and never had a dashboard turn white or crack due to the product.

Not sure about every auto maker, but the very reason I quit using it on my vehicles in the late 90's was it turned the black interior bits on a BMW, Jeep, and Toyota a greyish color and dried them out so bad they began to look like neglected exterior trim.

Save it for summer. Lay down 100' of poly, spray Armor all, best slippy slide EVER!

Used to use that one my first truck all of the time. When I traded it in, half the dash was missing!!!

Send it back to Armor All Mkt Dept, probably it will a collector's item for them.

Remember my roomate got this and we were all wow look @ that shine.

Sure, you put it on the seats and Grandma in the back would slide all the way and through the window ,
you know those were the days not many cared for seat belts.

I think I even heard some folks in rural areas and back country roads used it on everything inside and out the car to ward off any attempts by Alien UFO abductions, such was the shine that it blinded them little Green F..... From outer space, the Motto was hey you wanna abduct me? I show you some armor-all mof....

This was back before the internet & chatrooms, before PC became a household good and Mac was simply called Macintosh, long before the first cell phones were seen and when they arrived they were the size of a brick! If on the road and wanted to call someone you had to go to a payphone and drop in a dime.
If memory serves Atari was the king back then (how many of you know what that was?), Michael Jackson's Thriller came much later, so Did Magic Johnson and the Laker's showtime, Michael Jordan & the Bulls? That was round the next decade.
I reckon It was somewhere around 1980-81.

Now I wonder, three and a half decades from now how many of the darling products that are wowing folks today will be around to be pooh poohed?

I wouldn't use it but wouldn't throw it away either, keep it as a memorabilia or pass it on to a Museum like Manny Moe & Jack's.

I like the eBay idea. Might find some collector.


Otherwise, wheel well.

I would hang onto it, for display!

I remember I used to use it by the gallon on boat vinyl. Man would it make the seats slippery! More than one of us took a header walking on the sun deck! A little was never enough. It did not seem to do a thing to protect anything. The vinyl still disintegrated and had to all be replaced.

I use 303 products for vinyl now. So far I have had great luck.
