Don't use this crap!
 
Bought some Armorall interior wipes (with fancy orange scent!) yesterday at Target. Worst. Wipes. Ever. They left crappy discoloration and uneven finish all over my dash, armrest, etc. I had to wipe everything off afterwards with a wet paper towel then dry it. Kinda defeats the purpose of a wipe that you can use then be done.
Don't buy 'em.

Ha! I got some for free awhile back and gave them to my son for his car. He almost never uses them, and last weekend I stole a couple to use on the inside of my truck. Couple of days ago my wife asked "What happened to your dash?" Yup - very uneven distribution of the stuff, dash looked splotchy.

First mistake.

I have been using some Meguirs interior wipes... they seem to do pretty well.

I'll add to the list....Amorall Wheel Cleaner.

Got it as a gift, used it a couple of times. Has a built in de-greaser.

That's not all it does, my BMW centercaps were glued on and it ate the glue.
Now, two of my centercaps are gone. :lol:

They managed to stay on for twelve years but were no match for Armorall!

I've used the Armorall wipes for years. The unscented. Works great on my dash and on the cloth to remove small stains. I like them.

I'm still using K&N filter oil in place of Armoral. Works great, just try not to get it on glass, it's a PITA removing :rolleyes:

Thanks for the heads up. :)

I think you can clean it off your glass with the electro-cleaner stuff you use to clean the MAF with...lol..

There must be a good use for Armorall products...maybe if i run out of toilet paper...

glc Nov 2, 2010 10:55 PM

Too greasy.

jtwoodall Nov 3, 2010 02:39 PM

Those wipes are too moist to start off with, and after a few wipes there about half as effective, which is why it's too uneven. I usually run them against some cloth or something a couple times before I use them.

i used the protectant wipes for the rubbing and "orange blast" degreaser for my carpets in my firebird i had. got all the stains out. tried the cleaning wipes first but nothing changed. try the protectant wipes next time for ones the cleaning wipes dont get out.

I use Meguiars interior detailer and a microfiber cloth, works great. Have never liked Armorall and I don't use any of their products.

dsq3973 Nov 3, 2010 08:53 PM

I have a really good use for that crap. :D








































Target practice. :devil:

I have that streaking problem with everything from ArmorAll. The best thing I've found is Meguiars Supreme Shine.
