  Ya, it DID smear for the first few minutes of wiper use.   Seems to be ok
now after one rainy drive and the blades work fine now.  Armor All is kinda
odd stuff.   It makes things shiny for a bit and it  seems to help some
materials keep some life....On the other hand, it might well be equaled in
performance by vegie-oils in most cases, except my dogs would lick stuff
with vegie oil on it and they don't like Armor all at all.
