If you care about your hoods DO NOT use Armorall. It is destructive to rubber and plastic. It accelerates deterioration of car dashboards. Don't use it !

Has anyone tried Armorall? It is specifically made to protect rubber and plastic from UV etc. I maintain the new appearance on my classic motorcycles with it with complete success. I have never heard any negative feedback on
side effects.
