wut? That makes no sense.

don't ever use armorall it is the WORST product out there. the reason it works is because it draws the oils from the material to the surface. what that causes is the material to dry out faster then it normally would.

like a dash board, it will crack sooner or discolor faster with armorall compared to a product like mothers that will condition the material rather then just wick its moisture to the surface.

-phew-
52 pages of reading down!
i really like what you've done with the car, and hopefully one day i'll have a subie like yours!

Thanks for the good read!

**teeceRS** · 08-14-2009, 09:16 AM

is your spoiler a replica or genuine? i saw on line the genuine's are like $1500.00 since i want one after my other plans are done since yours looks FRESH!!

**salvator_rizzo** · 08-15-2009, 08:36 PM

haha right buy a genuine one, I'll just run over to the money tree and grab some cash...

lol no, that was a brand new replica off ebay. pretty good quality, not perfect, but hey im not complaining.

ive heard that about armorall, i tend to stay away from that stuff

**salvator_rizzo** · 08-16-2009, 09:55 PM

car will sit in the garage for the next 4-5 months or so not being driven
