    Thumbs down meguiars protectant wipes

    man do these ever suck! i bought a can today cuz i dont like the smell of armor-all and cuz i figured meguiars might be nicer.

    when i first used it, i thought it was great. 2 minutes later tho, all the gloss had either evaporated or beaded into droplets

    i guess its back to stinky armor-all.

    Armor all is the worst product on the market.. I wouldn't touch that stuff, let alone put it anywhere near my suv. I haven't tried the meguiar's wipes, but I have been using there

    Natural Shine and Lustre for vinyl and rubber
    and the
    Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner

    I swear by this stuff, clean the area first a slightly damp terry towel then apply product as directed with a terry towel..

    you should check out meguiarsonline.com I'm pretty sure they back there product and would give you a refund of somesort?

    I use meguiars on my leather and it works very well, what surface are you applying it to?

    meguiars has a different leather product.

    im using their vinyl, plastic, rubber protectant. it evaporates on some plastic and on other plastic it just beads. absolutely terrible.

    I like 303, none of the adverse long term affects that armorall has.

    armour all is known to crack your vinyl and what not if you use it frequently. i would reccomend the 303 that t5bird talked about...you can get it at walmart

    Armor All will crack your dash, I know this for a fact. I've had two work trucks now and both used armor all on the dash weekly. In less then three years both dashes were ruined.

    If you guys ever have problems with the meguiars products, go to there website it's very helpful and the people there can help you with all your questions.

    shitty deal about the handles dude, thats gotta suck hardcore


    when cut open, the rambutan unfortunately fails miserably to deviate from its outwardly testicular appearance, revealing an inside that looks for all the world exactly how you'd expect the contents of a scrotum to look.

    UPDATE 2: returned the meguiars and got some simonizer stuff. its ok, but its not very glossy. door handles still pooched. gonna try 303 or mothers when i find it (has to be in the form of wipes, i dont really like spraybottles (cuz they leak when theyre just lying around in my trunkbag)
