RE: Armor all?
The only car I ever used armor all on ended up getting a cracked dash, I didn't use it on the next car and didn't have a problem. It may have been a coincidence, but I like the mequiars stuff better anyway, it seems to last longer and have a lot less residue.

I only use the Armor all Extream tire shine that comes with the little foam thing. It makes the tires look realy nice. but like said before armor all inside makes a fiml on the inside and its really hard to clean off.

Armor all isn't a bad product... it's just not the best that you could buy. But if you buy the higher end stuff you will also be putting out more money for it but personally i think armor all does the trick

RE: Armor all?
Ok... Armor All is OIL! Might as well go buy some 10w-30 and spread er around! Why you think it leaves a shine?? Your interior in not supposed to shine! Did it shine when it was new?? Then why should it shine now?? Use a light cleanerlike windexon all your vinal products or a "Vinal Cleaner" like Meguires or Black Magic! Not shine crap! Same with the leather, only use it SPARINGLY! once in awile! (dont use windex on the leather)once a month is plenty if not too often! Too often will prematurley age the leather! Really your body oils are enough! As for the tires? You WILL NOT find anything better than Black Magic Titanium Tire Wet Gel.... if it is even out to the public yet... I picked up a bunch at SEMA and still have alot! Armour All?? YUCK! [:'(]

What are the pros and cons of armor all? Is there a better product? Let me get some opinions here...

I use Poorboys Natural Look interior dressing for all of the vinyl, trim, etc on the inside. The NL dries to the touch and isn't greasy, it also leaves a factory matte look that I like.
For tires I use Poorboys Bold N Bright or Optimum Tire Shine. They both dry to the touch, the Poorboys has a higher gloss and the Optimum has more of a clean matte look.
