Ahhh, I was wondering if someone would bring up Armor All. Don't use it. Ever! The main "ingredient" actually contributes to the deterioration of plastic, rubber, etc. Very evil stuff. I have had very good success using 303 protectant to restore armor-all damaged surfaces. 303 is popular with the boating crowd (of which we belong to). I use it on our cars, boats, and airplane. Good stuff. YMMV, and IDWFT. I'll give some more thought in different emails, so the threads can diverge. ;) J
