Armor All is terrible for vinyl no matter what they tell you about how great it is. We get bulletins all the time in the shop that show how it drys out the vinyls. Anything with petrolyem distillets in it is bad. We use a product for vinyl called Vinylex it's made by Lexoll who makes stuff for leather. For my paint I preferr either Meguirre's or Rain X wax. It makes a big difference if you go over it first with a clay bar first if it's been very dirty. Griot's makes some good stuff also
