armor all wipes

What do you think of the various Armor All wipes? Cleaning wipes, Leather wipes, Protecterant wipe, Glass wipes and Orange cleaning wipes?

I've tried them, from a value point I didn't care for them and haven't purchased them again. I have enough rags to keep my busy cleaning for years and they hold up better.

Thumbs down

My experience has been that they quickly dry out and I don't recommend them. Better to just buy the real thing.

I tried them once, and I didn't like them. They dried out real quick and left lint from the wipe that is used.

I'm not a big proponent of wipes, but on the scale of 1-10; armour All wipes are 2/10. I use the Meguiar's wipes when rushed, they rate 7/10 and they are lint free. All wipes seem to over saturate when first used, and I find it hard to spread it around to get a even coverage.

My brother bought some, but I didn't like them. You get the armor all all over your hands. I like to use a rag or shop towel, spray one side and wipe, that way you don't get armor all on your hands. The cleaning wipes are ok, but why pay so much, just use a rag.

Good to have handy for a quick touch up but other than that they are useless and too much $$$.

Hmm. I love those wipes. I use them all the time. They work excellent as long as you don't wipe them over shifter ***** or steering wheels.

I am definitely a fan of the wipes as well. Maybe not the best value, but what you sacrifice in value you make up for in convenience

Cool wipes

I bought a value pack of thoes things it came with the armor all and the cleaning wipes, they didnt seem to dry out to fast, but they did leave lint on the dash, and wherever else I used them. The one thing I can say I hate about them, and this probibly goes for armor all in general, is when you use them on the dash, and it gets hot outside the vapors are released and go straight onto your winshield, which makes it hard to see at night, due to the "grease"film that you have on your winshield, and I hate that more than the wipes drying out on me before I was done using them!

I know exactly what that grease film stuff is now! I couldn't figure out how come my windshield at night was so hard to see out of, and this was all recent, and recently I used Armor All on my dash. I think I'm going to start using that "Back to Black" trim care and plastic conditioner stuff on my dash, see what that does. Even though I have a grey dash, it still makes it look good.

film

It so sucks to get that film on your winshield. I mean the armorall makes the dash look great and all but its not worth not being able to see out of your winshield at night.

Greasy Film and Vinyl Protecterants

Is the issue with the greasy film on the window as a result of using Armor All only or is this an issue with all vinyl protecterants like Mequiars NGT Cockpit Shine and others?
