gixxerrider Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I have heard that Armor all dry's out the plasic and leather. (Is this true?) What do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 yes it is true, armor all uses alcohol in its cleaners. which eventually crakcs the interior. you can do two things, use silicone based products (black majic) that give it a "wet" look. or you can use other cleaners. i use something called meguiars quik detailer mist which is just a mist that cleans it up.

SS_bnoon_SS Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I don't use anything availble at the local auto parts store because almost all of them use petrolium distilates as the base because it's cheap/easy. The petrol base is what dries/cracks the leather/plastic/vinyl, not alcohol as drako stated. I use Auto Armor water based products that I buy from the local detail shop's commercial counter, because it's a brand the pros use. I only use that a couple of times a year when conditioning is needed. For normal cleanings, I just use HOT HOT HOT water and a regular wash cloth to clean the dust/etc. I don't really like the "wet look" for my interior though...

cerbomark Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Seats/ a little baby oil on a cotton cloth. Then wipe dry with a clean cloth after you let it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KissMySilvSS Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Eagle One Leather cleaner and conditioner works really good, black bottle. I used it for the first time today and I was very impressed with the results. I need to use it more often to keep my leather fresh and moist.
