Default Armor All Sucks

Whoever created this slime should be shot. It's fine for the garage queens and posers but it sucks for trackers.

As a courtesy my track car was detailed and the detailer put that shit all over the interior and my Hoosier sidewalls. Nothing like going 150mph into turn one with a slippery steering wheel and silicone based lube on slicks. Duh.

I spent the last couple hours scrubbing that shit off. Hope the tires aren't ruined.

Sorry. Just venting and warning.

is there anything good or is a damp cloth probly the best way to go?

The company that makes Lexol makes a similar product to Armor All...I think it is called Vinylex. Adds a great luster to the dash and whatnot, but isn't greasy.

The idiot who put that shit on your tires should be shot. Did they know you'd be competing after the detail?

Don't think it goes on steering wheels either.

One would think so. The car has a bigass numbers on the doors, my name plastered all over it and one side has marks down the length of it from slapping a tire wall a few years back. And lets not forget the name HOOSIER embossed clear as day on the sidewalls and the red-turned-black brake calipers.

Have I mentioned lately how much I despise posers?

Please everybody, if you want to dress up your car use Zaino products or something similar but get rid of that shitty Armor All crap. Every time I get into a car that's been detailed with that shit I feel like I'm crawling into a vat of anal lube.

Sorry, still venting.
