Armor-All products OK?
My mom bought some Armorall leather wipes and a exterior spray for use on her LX470. Are these OK to use, or should we be looking for something a little better? Thanks.

I don't know much about that leather product or what it's ingredients are, but maybe you can use it and get back to us with a review. I have read at least one person on another forum say it's a bit greasy, so that would be one point to confirm or deny. I have used the spray wax/sealant product once on my mother-in -law's car (she had bought some and asked me to use it on her car) and it was...ok. I don't know how long the shine or protection lasted. It was easy to use FWIW
Are there better products? ...I'd say yes, only because Armor-All is "consumer grade" stuff, more intended for the avergae Joe rather than the enthusiast that's willing to pay for a bit better quality ingredients and performance. But if they do a good job for you and your mom, I sure won't argue the point.
Good luck!

Don't ever mention Armor All and Lexus in the same breath/sentence. It will make vinyl shiny and dry it out over time leaving you with heartbreaking cracks in the dash.
Lexus owner do not let other Lexus owners user Armor All.

You may still not like the product(s) but I just wanted to be fair to Armor All since the stuff they've sold in the last decade has been water based, like 303 Aerospace Protectant and Lexol's Vinylex and Meg's #40.
Hard to change people's minds once you sell a bad product though, and that legacy sticks in people's minds because of it, to this day. Cheers.

Guitarman-
Thanks for that update. I found a quart jug of Armoral I bought from the mid-80's...wasn't sure if I wanted to use it. I should have known the stuff was harsh.. Back then, it would dry my hands out when I applied it and extended contact caused a rash. At that age, one doesn't think of it that way.
These days I wear nitrile gloves handling any chemicals related to the household or car.
