Have you guys ever noticed on the armor all protectant wipes that they use the s2k on the bottle as their interior picture?

I used it for 7ish years in a row on my old Eclipse and never had any issues with cracking or deterioration.
I've used it since the day I got my s2000 (~1 year) and have not yet had any issues.
It's probably not the best stuff on the market, but it's cost effective
Armor all seems to leave a much shiner gloss coat compared to the higher end vinyl protectants.

Back in the 70s and 80's Armor All contained dimethyl silicone oils, and they are the type that is detrimental to vinyls & plastics. They were forced (lawsuits and bad press) to change their formulation, and now they're water-based polydimethyl siloxanes. Have been for many years now actually. They do no harm. But old gossip dies hard, and many avoid it because they don't know they revised the formula to the more desireable PDMS water based silicone.
A lawsuit by a former employee has shaken up Armor All Products Corp. with accusations that the company is covering up internal findings that several of its car-care products, including Armor All Protectant, cause tires and air bag covers to crack.

i use zymol on my leather and 303 on my interior vinyl. i wouldnt touch armor all, its cheap for a reason. plus im not a fan of the high gloss interior. i like a nice clean matte-like sheen.

I used to use AA for my EJ and it was okay. When I stopped using it, thats when I started getting cracks. Car was garaged too. I stopped using AA after that. Just my experience with the stuff.
They may have changed formulation but I wont be going back.
