ilk. They stay sticky and actually and trap attract dust and dirt."
This is one of my pet peeves...
You see I worked for Armorall when it first came out. We met with the
technical people for explanation and training.
The reason Armorall stays sticky is too much was applied and it was not buffed
after use.
I will also say that the instructions currently on the bottles are not what
they were originally. A subject I have taken up with them at automotive
shows.
The proper application of Armorall goes like this:
Use sparingly. Only apply directly to tires. On vinyl you should dampen a
cloth and apply by wiping with that cloth. Use very sparingly! Armorall works
by being absorbed. Use only enough to make the surface appear damp - you know
it looks a little darker.
Then, 24 hours later, you must buff it with a clean cloth. this removes any
excess and sets the Armorall. It also stops the static cling of dust.
Again - sticky surface = too much applied.
I have use it for 30 years on tires and vinyl with none of the problems
ascribed to it.
N.F.I., just a rant....
