Armor All

I use to use Armor All back in the day lol. Since then I never really liked any of their products. Well I was looking for something cheap that I can use on wheel wells. I was at Walmart and found Armor All Tire shine for around $3 (I can't remember $2.50 or $3.50 lol). Picked up a bottle. Used it that weekend when I washed our 99 Accord, after I cleaned the wells I sprayed with this stuff, then I said what the heck lets use it on the tires as well. I was very impressed. The tires looks great. Glossy when first applied but let it dry and the tires are left with just a hint above a matte finish. This stuff has been on the Accord now for almost 3 weeks and 2 washes (havent cleaned the tires only wheels). The car is a DD but is garaged over night and only driven 125 miles a week. I used some this weekend on my DD that is outside 24/7 and driven about 350 a week. I will update on Armor All on this car.



After 3 weeks and 2 washes (once again not cleaning the tires only getting wet)


1 day after being on my DD


had to show a pic of the lil helper

 

I have used AA on wheel wells but I just ran out so I am trying Meg's Hot Shine to see if it is similar.

 

I have not used this stuff on the wells yet, still have a gallon of Adam's Undercarriage Spray left!

 

I use this stuff also for wheelwell dressing and occassionally on tires. One thing I don't like about it is that it's hard to clean off tires. If your tires get dirty/muddy, it seems to attach to this dressing like glue. I've used it on wheelwells that have gotten dirty and had to scrub like crazy to get the wells clean.

I've stopped using it on my tires but still like it for wells. Price is right and its easy to find.

 

I know that Armor All products have improved over the years, but they still scare me.

 

That's the only AA product I use and I too use it for the wheel wells only. It does work pretty damn well for how much it costs. I haven't tried Adam's yet and I have some Stoner's More Shine that I'll give a shot in there.

 

I wanted to try Adams but heck only take care of my 2 cars so when I can get something cheap that gets the job done well I am game lol

 

I still use and like AA tire foam. You can't beat it for it's price. I use it to detail engine too. Like it better then CD-2.

 

The plastics and hoses?

 

yep, I use it on plastic and hoses. I leave it on for an hour, then wipe off any residue left. Cheap, effective, and looks great! And it lasts, unlike hyper dressing.

 

Will have to give it a try

 

Armor All Origional formula (white and orange bottle) is water based and is just as good as any other water based dressing, no need to be afraid of that.

 

I've heard it has pretty good cleaning properties. I still prefer a higher gloss shine.
