What I've heard is it tends to leach the plasticizers out of vinyl, and
replace them with its own more volatile ones. Gives the vinyl a nice
shiny look, but if you don't keep applying Armor All the vinyl will dry
out and crack. I don't have personal experience, though.
Incidentally, I drove a car once where the dealership had Armor-Alled the
*steering wheel*. That was downright dangerous...I couldn't keep a grip
on it.
