It will mess up the windows if you spray around them so next time I'll put them down, but my plastic and rubber now looks better than when I bought the truck. I sprayed it on and wiped off the excess the next morning. It even made the mud flaps look like new or better. Bill

I have used it...

The reason I'm not such a huge fan of Stoner's products is because they're all aresol (unless you start buying in 5-gal pails). I've always found aresols to be messy, difficult to use, and just don't fit my detailing style very well.

I know I can spray them on a towel and then apply -- which is obviously what you'd do for any trim work -- but, the overspray issue (especially with dark paint) is one that trumps a lot of their stuff for me...

I have to say that after reading threads on this web site I went to Vinylex and have not been dissapointed.It has worked very well for me.I had been using Back to Black and that was a mistake.

None of them are perfect... that's important to remember. I had some 'runs' from Vinylex over the weekend after a pretty good rain storm... tis the nature of the beast...

I believe that Armor-All isn't that good for your truck. Something about being petroleum based. Anyone else hear this?

Yeah. It'll work. It'll run like the ****ens too...

New formulations of AA really aren't all that bad... they got a horrible rap from 'back in the day' when the silicones and such that they utilized were very very poor.
