Armor All® 78175 - 16 oz. Leather Protectant

This product did a really great job at lifting some old stains from my car's carpet!

This product works great because a) it's relatively cheap and b) gives a good shine without looking hideous Basically, it doesn't provide that ultra-greasy look you might get at a $50 detail operated by some homeless looking guy who applied a layer of grease to your tires. Instead, you get a new-tire looking effect that simply looks good all the time. Easy to apply- just spray on. However, make sure you try to spray on uniformly and don't put too much. But before you do that, if you're applying this while the car is in your garage or driveway, cut up some cardboard boxes and drive over them. This way, all the residual droplets wont stain your concrete. Let the liquid sit for the recommend amount of time, then go out and use a paper towel to dab, not scrub, away excess dirt and liquid. Make sure you do not leave any traces of liquid because if you do so, the next time you drive your car, centrifugal force will stream even small traces of excess liquid right off to your side panels.

It does make the tires shine and look nice, however it claims to last for weeks and it doesn't. Days at best, and any rain washes it right off. The trigger bottle is incredibly cheap. If you tilt it at all it won't spray, which is annoying because you have to kinda turn the bottle sideways to spray the lower part of the tire to coat everything evenly. When there's enough left for just a couple more applications it gets frustrating because it doesn't want to spray.

Use to put a clear "bra" on my truck. Make sure you cover what ever you don't want sprayed with newspaper or something. I did a strip on the front of the hood and didn't cover the entire hood the first time and spent a good deal of time cleaning up. Overspray on this stuff is pretty sticky and a pain to get off. You use the bug and tar cleaner spray to get the overspray off. Follow the directions and make sure the edge is still wet when you peel off your tape or the edge will peel up and tear. The Clear isn't really clear, its more of a clear matte finish. But does provide good protection from rock chips etc. Good product for the price.

You will receive a pack of two individual wipes, not a pack of 60.

The first time we used them, I was very surprised at the amount of grime that came off of the seats. Now that we use these wipes regularly, the seats look great and less dirt exists. The reason for four stars -- the quality control of the wipes' canister is just not good, as we have had brand new packages opened dry, others drying out within a short period of time, and then others staying nice and damp all the way until the last wipe was used. Since we like the wipes but no longer trust the canister, we immediately dump all contents (wipes and fluid) into a large zip-lock bag for safekeeping. That works well, but we really should not have to do this... so, four stars instead of five. Highly recommend this product if you have a similar need... but think about keeping them in a zip-lock bag or something with a good seal.

I use the sensitive skin, alcohol-free baby wipes (recommended to me by someone who sews leather tack items for equestrian use) to clean large areas, as they are cheaper than any leather wipes out there. Then I use a few of these ArmorALL wipes, to condition and protect the cleaned areas. Have used these wipes for on-the-go and quick touch-ups and cleaning, too and I like them, particularly in the car, on the seats, seatbacks and side/door areas in leather. For my sofa and loveseat (very light, matte leather) and club chair/recliner (shiny, dyed, darker leather) I will continue to use the baby wipes first, as I use so many at one time. Saves me money, and I always have those around in the house. Using the two routines together gets the job done, and my leather looks great.
