I was told NOT to put armor-all on them.
I am just curious........was any reason given for not using Armor All ?
It builds up a gunky film on the vinyl & get sticky, then attracts & holds dirt - inside it off-gasses & fogs the windows with the sticky crap, as well as the vinyl surfaces.....ask me how I know, no, on second thought don't!
Armour All is sheer crap. Vinylex is a better product for the interior & rollbar/sails vinyl, Leatherex for the steering wheel/shifter boot in leather, as well as the similar products from Einzeitt, P21, etc.
In the old days many used black boot polish on the bumper tops & tits.
I've used Back-to-Black on our other DD's rubber bits, which also adds black color & makes them a bit semi-gloss, but I don't like the inconsistent black color with the bubbles effect it leaves, plus we've had it run on the body/paint in a rain! So I personally would stay away from it on anything but a DD, and not a very nice one at that - unless there's a way to seal it from running & get a consistent black finish to it.
Today I've used Wurth Rubber treatment on them (spray can), as it keeps the semi-matte look of them & they don't look too artificially shiny. It's also great for the other rubber seals on the 914.
Cheers!
