Armor All is the worst product you can use on your car. Please no one buy this.
Why?
Their products do more harm than good.
Agree, utter garbage
Seriously, I don't get it?
I've used this and many other 'branded' car care products, and sure, some appear to be better than others.
However, ArmorAll has been around forever, and I'm finding it hard to process how it has survived and remains successful today?
Just by saying that a product is "shit", doesn't give potential buyers much to go by. Please tell us why, and give personal experiences and examples.@dusty4: Look dude if you want to buy the Armor All stuff and it works for you go ahead.
The protectant is terrible greasy junk that doesn’t protect your interior from UV exposure.The wash is average and will get the job done but there is better value especially when other professional products can be diluted 500:1.
I shouldn’t have to explain but never use a sponge on a car it will scratch your paint as there is no where for the debris to go as you wash. Use a proper microfibre wash mitt.
Lynx air freshener if you want your car smelling like a 15 year old teenager.
Armor all exists because of brand loyalty and the fact they have been around before other brands appeared on the market.
@AusNugz: Thanks, and I agree with most of what you say, except this:
"Armor all exists because of brand loyalty and the fact they have been around before other brands appeared on the market".
Your statement might have a faint ring of truth around it, but I'm not convinced it's 'fact'.
Thanks for the tips also…👍@dusty4: Just to note I wasn’t calling it a fact. I am saying that they have been around longer than other car care companies which is true.
@AusNugz: That's not true either.
Armor All 'protectant' was 'developed' in 1962, however the Armor All brand and associated products were available from 1972.
Mostly Australian made.@dusty4: I’m not really sure what you are getting at here…
I am saying they have been around a long time, longer than most companies in the car care space.I guess technically you could interpret as me saying they are the oldest which I wasn’t.
I am talking compared to modern brands today that you would find on the shelves.
@AusNugz: This … "I am saying that they have been around longer than other car care companies which is true."
You can't just unsay things or re-interpret the original phrase.Anyhow, the bottom line is that the OP posted a deal that the OP considers good value.
We, as Ozbargainers can choose to buy, ignore, or to offer 'constructive and QUALIFIED ' feedback for others to consider.
NOT to behave like sheep.@dusty4: The original phrase: “the fact they have been around before other brands appeared on the market.”
This is a FACT. They have been around before other brands appeared on the market.
You can choose how to interpret what I have said but it is a fact. They have been around before other brands.
For example: Armor All founded in 1962 vs CarPro founded in 2009I think you are reading the phrase as “they are the oldest” which I did not say.
@AusNugz: For what it's worth, Armor All was NOT founded in 1962.
The formula for the 'protectant' was developed in 1962, but by a independent person.
Armor All brand of PRODUCTS, including the protectant, joined an already 'existing' global car care market in 1972.
By the way, I personally don't use the protectant either, but obviously MANY people do.
Enough already!@dusty4: Thanks for the clarification my original point still stands whether it be 1962/1972 vs 2009. You misinterpreted my original comment as fact.
@dusty4: Yep. Some of the garbage people write on this website is astounding. A simple negative comment to these products could have been - there are better products around. eg plastic and rubber protectants such as 303, truck wash….; sponges can give micro-scratches if you're not careful (depends on when and how you wash, the dirtiness etc etc), I'm an anti-Lynx baa baa, etc
@Igaf: igaf the original comment you are replying to is short and sweet. dusty4 requested the additional details which I gave. I’m not sure what more you need to say here, you have already given away that you like to use Armor All protectant meaning your opinion is not going to carry much weight.
you have already given away that you like to use Armor All protectant meaning your opinion is not going to carry much weight.
Have another read and see if you can do better.
Riddle me this. Is the opinion of someone who doesn't use a product worth more than someone who did for twenty years and had excellent results?
Speaking of carrying weight. Your opinions here - like "brand loyalty" for example - aren't facts, they're pure guesswork, which in my world carries no weight whatsoever.
You made it clear that you didn't know how to apply the original Proctectant, which isn't rare judging from occasional comments I've read here and elsewhere. It's only "greasy" if you apply too much and don't know how to buff it off. Some people prefer a matt finish, others shiny. Applied properly both AA Proctectant and 303 do good jobs. That's not fact, that's my opinion based on plenty of experience. People can choose to ignore it if they want.
@Igaf: I don’t know how many times I have to tell you igaf. I’m glad you enjoy the greasy Armor All protectant feeling my guy.
I am not brand loyal and use a wide range of products.
@AusNugz: Somehow doubt AA products are as "shit" as your opinion. I suggest you read instructions and learn how to use products
@Igaf: I should of asked you beforehand if you own shares in Armor All because at this point you have got to have a vested interest (and a greasy windscreen)
USAGE DIRECTIONS
Shake bottle well before use.
Apply liberally onto a clean cloth or sponge.
Wipe evenly over the surface.
Apply regularly to maintain appearance and protection.I don’t see a buff off step in here man? Apply liberally to get that nice greasy KFC feeling?
@AusNugz: Mine also says wipe off excess, which I'd guess is an unnecessary instruction to 99% of the user base. Guess you're one of those special cases where every tiny step has to be explained. Don't see remove cap and depress nozzle there either. Probably explains why you don't use it.
Is KFC really greasy or has your opinion been formed by others I wonder?
There are plenty of ways of saying you don't like a product or prefer another, although it may take a little more thought.
Not that you should care but I rate yours and many of the others on this deal as D-. The Lynx commenter gets an F, so don't be too disappointed.@Igaf: Igaf I don’t know how many times you have to comment here. You have shown your true colours, you are a fierce Armor All supporter/greasy windshield warrior.
You suggested I read the instructions which I did now you have to move the goal posts once again. I would further argue that remove cap and depress nozzle are implied by “apply liberally”.In closing ok dud.
All you had to say was “I love Armor All® protectant”@AusNugz: Your inability to comprehend is below average even for Ozbargain. Hay in short supply in Melbourne or do you prefer skinny straw men?
The protectant is terrible greasy junk that doesn’t protect your interior from UV exposure.
Protected both my interior and exterior plastic and rubber for decades and made it look near new. What evidence is there that it doesn't work?
Before microfibre mits how did owners keep their cars in good nick?
There's a lot of snobbery with car care these days. Almost as bad as craft beer and coffee snobbery.
@Igaf: I’m glad you enjoy the greasy protectant feeling igaf.
Before microfibre mits how did owners keep their cars in good nick?
Single stage paint vs clear coated paint would be my guess. Most cars from 2000’s onwards will be covered in scratches that stop light reflecting if they use a sponge.
You can call it snobbery but I bet your car is covered in swirls. I think you and people at all interested in keeping their car properly clean will have a very different definition of “good nick”@AusNugz: You think? Just like you think Protectant doesn't work. Must have been my magic touch. Make sure you keep that UV light and magnifying glass handy, and don't take your car out in the sun and rain.
I agree with the above. I will not put that awful 'protectant' spray anywhere near my car.
Horrible stuff.
Also Meguiar's yellow wash and wax is far superior for car wash too.
If you've got an old shitbox that you don't care about, sure, otherwise even if it's old but in reasonable condition, give this stuff a wide berth.
Meh. Used the protectant for years before better products (303) came along. "Conditioned" and protected car plastics inside and out, made them look as good as new. People whinging about the greasy finish didn't wipe it in properly. Still use it for plastic pots etc around home when it's cheap.
Haven't used it but can't see why the car wash wouldn't do the job for most washes. Again there are better options.
If you have a new(ish) car get the best products you can afford, otherwise there are plenty which will keep your paint clean and shiny and protected adequately.
The fact it includes a Lynx air freshener should be all the indication you need that this product is shit.
Any "cheap" but good wheel cleaner for brake dust and all? You watch reviews - they tell you one thing. Then you read reviews on SCA site, and they tell you that none really work =)
Pick cheap or good.
I use CarPro IronX. It is the best in my opinion.
I use Eclipse when necessary, works a treat on alloy wheels. Use as directed - ie don't leave on too long. Don't know current prices. Changing from soft brake pads if appropriate will help.
