What's better than Armor All?
I've heard people say a thousand times that Armor All isn't the best stuff on the market, but never has anyone said what those better products are. I don't wanna go try out each knock off, so what do you guys think is better? (its gotta have that Armor All shine, my dad and I swear by it.)
LRV (leather,rubber,vinyl) protectant is the best that ive found to date. use it inside, outside, and in the engine bay, no dilution required. made by "the wax shop", purchased at schucks auto supply for 6 bucks.

clean or protect?? i guess to clean you could use some simple green, but you have to dilute it, but after using that you should apply some protectant. you can use the armor all cleaning wipes or spray, its just the armor all protectant that some people have had discrepancies with. go get a bottle of LRV for the protectant, you wont regret it.

I used Armor All Protectant, but then I tried Mother's Back to Black. That stuff makes the plastic blacker than Armor All Protectant. It smells good too. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I use Meguiar's Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant and I won't use anything else...it's far superior in application and overall results to Armor-All...Try it once, and you'll know what I mean...
Mother's Back to Black, while usually used on exterior trims, works just as well for the interiors...shines up nice as well...

[hr]lol, well of course they're not going to admit to it! What kind of marketing strategy would it be if they made it a point to explain their weaknesses in a direct ask question? [hr]

Sometimes I think some products get "flamed" at this site just for being popular...

I've done "trial and error" on all of my products...
Truthfully, I use different ones for different applications...So what are you putting it on??
MEGUIAR'S TIRE GEL for the tires...(it's purple and smells like grape juice)...but after 1 week I don't have to re-apply it (unlike some) it will last approx. 2-3 weeks even in the ARIZONA sun and washes
...All you have to do is re-wipe the tire with the applicator and BAM!! it's all shiny again
For all the other trims including the interior and engine...I use TRIM SHINE from Stoner...(works great)...just spray on a towel and then wipe...(they have a good glass cleaner called INVISIBLE GLASS too)...
As far as ARMOR-ALL...I use it sometimes too
