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.
