For what it's worth, here's what the BMW enthusiasts have to say about the topic: http://www.unofficialbmw.com/all/carcare/all_dont_use_silicone.html I seem to recall finding something similar on some kind of Harley website. As for those who say they've used Armor-All religiously for twenty years with no problem, that is exactly the assertion of the Armor-All Sucks theory: if you're gonna use it, you MUST use it religiously to keep your vinyl looking good. Occasional use serves only to dry it out without repeated applications. Not saying any of this is true, just clarifying the stated theory. Nonetheless, I use the non-silicone polishes, and only occasionally. Jeffrey Earl 1983 diesel Westfalia "Vanasazi" http://www.vanthology.com/
