My wife bought me some Armor All "Wax-it dry" gel stuff at a cheap price. Would you use it? I'm thinking it won't be very good (not durable or give good shine), but will it harm my paint? I have a Seal Grey 996tt.

 

There's a lot of waxes most guys won't agree on; but I think it's safe to say NO!!!!! TO ARMOR ALL. Specially on a Porsche....it's blasphemy.

 

Thanks Moe, but what do I tell my wife when she asks me why I haven't used it yet?

 

Tell her its sucks.

 

Give it to your son and have him "practice" for the future on a toy car.

 

Use vaseline instead...

 

ARMOR ALL will armor your car with dirt. It is too greasy.
stay away.

 

Use it on her car!

Use Pinnacle Souveran, P21S Carnuba, or a Zymol Wax like Carbon.

 

heheehe i agree moe lol

 

"wax as you dry" is actually a pretty good product that is safe to use. Most Armor all stuff is crap but this is OK.

I have zaino on all my cars. I put on the "wax as you dry" after each wash on top of zaino. it doesn't come close to a real wax but it's no extra effort to put on and it will not harm your paint.

 

Thanks djantlive and everyone else for their input. I may give the "wax-it-dry" stuff a try. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't hurt the paint.

 

Low-end products like Armor-All actually to harm your car. The tire stuff is laden with silicone as is this "wax and dry" product. Over time, you may get silicone impregnation where the silicone will penetrate the clear and be in the pigment. There are better spray waxes out there if convenience is what you're after.

 

Save it for the kids' stuff... my daughter uses it on her Ducati:
