Thanks John.  I went to their website and signed up for a free sample.  I'll
let you know how it works out.

Cheers,

Jeff

There's a nice long thread in the archives about Armor All. IIRC, it mostly
brings the oils in your plastic to the surface and doesn't really add
anything back in. Eventually there are no more oils and things begin
cracking. Go to an hiking/kayaking shop and ask for 303 Protectant
(www.303products.com/)- this stuff was spec'd by Boeing for maintaining
plastic surfaces. It adds oils back into the material instead of leaching it
out (also adds UV inhibitors, IIRC). Not cheap, but a it works well and a
little goes a long way.
