Re: TO ARMOUR ALL OR NOT?

["jeremys_im" <jeremysmail@xxxx>]

Armour All will give you a good shine, if you want that much, but 
not much more except from sunscreen protection. Armour All 
DOESN'T condition vinyl or leather AT ALL. 

What you use does depend on condition. For example if you 
have hard vinyl or leather then you need a deep condition. For 
leather people have useds olive oil, minerial, mink oil etc. these 
do reasonably well. If you really want to soften vinyl or leather 
from rock hard to back to factory soft use something like 
Leatherique. recommend by many Rolls Royce, Corvette, Jag, 
Mercedes groups and it works like a charm but not cheap.

For regular mild conditioning again of leather the oils will work. 
I've heard many people mention the suntan lotation but it needs t 
be the cheap generic kind. The more natual ingrediants the 
better. remember leather is skin.

Leatherique will also work for deep condition on vinvl. And for 
good annual maintance. Use something with a good sunscreen 
to reduce UV.
