Default Interior care and.... why do I keep getting emails?

Hello all,

From reading rennlist I understood that using armor all on 928's interior is not good idea. Which begs the question - what then? Please share



and another thing - I checked "no" for the email notification for the new posts in threads I am participating in, but still get emails. what gives?



thank you!

I would suggest Meguirs (sp.) rubber shine on plastic/vinyl. Good quality hide food on the leather.

Lexol makes some nice products for this application as well.

I'm having the same e-mail issue with Rennlist. No answer to my query yet, either.

Armor All is apparently a controversial subject around here.

I've been using it for decades on various cars, and I can tell you from experience that there is nothing wrong with this product!

Two points:

1. It should not be used on leather. It contains alcohols which will dry the leather. Lexol or other good leather cleaner is a much better idea.

2. If you use Armor All on a surface, you have to be prepared to continue to use it. If you stop using it, then the surface has a tendency to dry out even quicker. It is "addictive" in this regard.

Most of my interior is leather, but my uncracked pod, the tires, spoilers, and non-metal things under the hood get a good and regular coating.

Good luck-

I have been more than pleased with http://www.leatherique.com/ and the times I have called them for advice, they have been friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Might want to go to your profile and check out the edit tab. You can turn off the email there.

What about the Meguiar's vinyl protectant wipes? Any consensus there? I tried them for the first time the other day and the results were stunning on both the wing and the dash, but I don't know about long term effects.
