Buckle up in that thing, or slide clear off the seat on a hard left turn....

Reminds me of the old days when I used baby oil on the interior. Did you guys do that also. No armour all back then

Back in the 60's and early 70's we used lemon Pledge.

Yes Bill forgot about the lemon pledge but that was after the baby oil for us and MOP magic on the tires

We used to use brake fluid on tires.

Remindes me of a story a cop told me one time. He went to the scene of an accident. Apparently the guy had just cleaned his truck, used armour all on the interior to include the bench seat. He came around a corner and slid over to the passenger side. Guess he should have been wearing his seat belt. The cop said the truck was totalled and the guy was very embarassed. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

The brake fluid was before my time for sure. I did armour all the pedal covers, once, that was an experience.

Don't you guys know that Armour All has been banned in New York? - For our own good, you know.......

Lemon Pledge was good on both the inside and the outside of the car... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Both Armour All and Pledge are silicon based products. Any silicon based polish, whatever the name, will give the same results. I've used Murphy's oil soap on vinyl when I didn't have anything else, but it doesn't shine like silicon.
BTW, silicon is also a lubricant, hence the slide. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif
Great stuff, considering that they make gaskets and caulking with it as well.
As with all chemicals, read the label carefully. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

I went to look at a '66 Corvette (Marina Blue?) years ago; thinking about buying it before I bought my '68. The car was unbelievably clean and shiny. I asked the owner what he used to keep the paint looking so good and he told me he had never used anything but Lemon Pledge. A few months later I bought my International Blue '68 and recalled what that fellow had told me. I tried Lemon Pledge on the Dark Blue Corvette. What an absolute MESS! At first I thought I had ruined the paint. Don't know why it worked for others and not for me but I NEVER used that stuff on a car again.

Re: Armour all attack (poor camaro)
 
I don't think that silicon would adhear if sprayed over a well waxed car. If all the wax was stripped, it might stick to the paint better.
No buffing neccessary! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

On my silver Nova I used it every other day...worked like a charm. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Nowadays...Honda polish (which is used on ATV's)...is basically the same thing without the lemon smell

And knowing Honda, they probably sell it for about 80 bucks a can https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Most entertaining/dangerous has got to be the guys who do their snowmobile seats during a fall detail. Come winter, when it gets cold, they wrap their a$$ in nylon and hit the trail...hit it pretty hard actually in the first corner.

As for cars, I can deal with the overzealous detailers with the armour all. I can usually get that off. It's the hacks who shoot the entire underhood with clear lacquer that get their special spot in hell.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Reminds me of a time when I was a kid and slid from one side to another (several times) in a "well armoured" 74 SD 4spd https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

I forgot about Honda polish. When I had my bike that is all I used on it. Never washed it, just spray and wipe, even took off bugs! Have to add a can to the cleaning arsenal.
