it has silicone in it. When the sun shines through your glass the silicone works like magnifiying glass and over time wrecks your interior. Ask any high-end detail shop what to use and armorall won't be it. Get something without silcone in it.

Armorall is forbidden in our detail shop, we use Mopar spot foam. Greatest **** ever invented, will take the nastiest grease smudge out of your carpet, as well as clean and protect all your vinyl. Adds a nice clean brand-new looking finish.

armorall is also oil based and expands in heat, this ends up getting into the texture on ur dash and cracking it. this article is bullshit. v-power is the most expensive gas out there and it is no better than anyone else. guess what folks, 90% of the gas companies out there buy the SAME fuel. plus whats with the oil, that **** they suggest is a base stock grade 3 oil, (not true synthetic). long life my ass. and jiffy lube...come on! i would only use mobil1 for oil. gas-either hess (in the SE), mobil, or chevron. i used rain-x soap with carnuba wax beads, and water based orange wipes on my dash with maguires leather conditioning wipes for the seats. and i am a professional detailer.

Here in Phoenix I would never use Armorall. Mainly because it looks alright for a day or two and then it is brown. It attracts dust like nothing else.

Anyone know if the Meguire's NXT Tech Protectant has silicone in it?? It seems like great stuff to me, I've been using for a few months and I've been very satisfied.
