In cars with black interiors armorall and like products can produce a nasty glare in direct sunlight. I try to stay away from the stuff.

I use Mcguire wipes. It goes on easy and protects against UV rays. You can also use it to take that Armor All stuff out.

nsxnext, our house detailer, hooked me up with the 303 space protectant! the sh*t is awesome, and will get rid of the armour-all residue! great for all vinyl, rubber, plastic, leather, my dog etc... j/k about the dog! next thing you know some knucklehead will be posting that he used it on his dog!

Man I just did that EXACT same thing last week. I thought to myself, hmmm maybe i should clean my dash with armor all. So I do it. I see the streaks and I think to myself.. maybe its just like wet marks and it will go away... NO.. 2 hours later they are still there and were not fun to get off.

Yeah, that's about the only places where you can use it without having any complaints....that goes with Armor All tires also.
