NU-VINYL or ARMORALL ?
I keep hearing good stuff about long term use of "nu-vinyl" and really bad talk about armorall and other silicon base protectants.
Anyone know the real story?

I make sure to stay away from Silicon products, they generally aren't considered safe for auto paint. That's why you don't see detailing happening in the same area as painting/prep in a body shop.
Stick to Meguiar's vinyl/rubber protectant. There's also other products that are Silicon-free that will give a nice shine, if that's what you are after...

Been using Armorall for as long as I can remember, on my hobby cars and daily drivers. Never any problems (cracked dash) and my interiors always look great. There are probably better products, but Armorall does work.

Armor All is crap....Avoid that stuff.
I buy the majority of my care products from this site.

For vinyl and leather I go with the respective Lexol Products.

if you like Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner, then you're going to FLIP over the Zaino leather stuff!
I "was" using the Lexol stuff until I tried the Zaino leather in a bottle, the leather cleaner cleans much better than anything I have ever used, and the leather conditioner is fantastic! just wipe it on and leave it.
and the car smells like brand new leather!
give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
