A recent post alleging that Armor All actually accelerated drying and cracking of vinyl and rubber prompted me to contact the company and see what they had to say on the subject. I have used their products for many years without detectable problems. In any case, here is their response:

Dear Mr. Trummel,
Thank you for contacting us about Armor All Protectant - Original. We always appreciate hearing from our consumers.
ARMOR ALL Protectant is a water based silicone emulsion specifically designed to protect and beautify polymeric materials such as rubber, plastic, vinyl and leather. The protectant fights deterioration caused by ozone, oxidation and ultra-violet radiation.
While we are confident that ARMOR ALL Protectant is both safe and effective, we are also aware that nothing can prevent the eventual failure of polymeric materials. Deterioration of these materials can start within one year of service. The rate of this deterioration is dependent upon many factors, including exposure to the elements, the amount of care given to the surface, and the original quality of the material. I hope this information answers your concerns and that you will continue to use ARMOR ALL with confidence.
Again, thank you for contacting us.
Sincerely,
Patti Copper

You can make up your own mind on the subject, but I for one plan to continue to use their products.
