| james528's Full Review: Armor All Cleaning Wipes |
|
I am a baker, and am usually covered in flour when I get into my car. Therefore, the interior of my car is also usually covered with a nice thin coating of flour. On the dash, my door panels, my leatherette seats, everything. I got tired of using a paper towel and Windex because the paper towel left a bit of lint behind that was no better than the flour it was replacing. So I thought I'd try using the Armor All Cleaning Wipes instead. Packaging The wipes come with 25 wipes in a plastic tube, just like baby wipes. You insert the corner of the center wipe through the slit in the lid and then tear the wipe off along the dotted lines. Very simple. Product The wipes are 7 x 9 inches, which is a good size for the interior of your vehicle. They are pre-moistened with Armor All's specially formulated cleaning product, but do not leave a greasy residue on your fingers after using them. They have a bit of a texture as well, which I find is helpful when cleaning my seats; my seats have perforations on them (a bunch of little holes on the seat and back portions) and tend to collect a bit of debris. The Armor All wipes do a great job at cleaning every crack and crevice on my seats! They also work very well on my door panels which are hard plastic. I used them on my center console to clean up some sticky soda residue from the cup holder and other random dirt/debris; they worked beautifully! My only complaint was when I used them on my plastic dashboard. They worked pretty well at removing the debris, but I did notice some swirly marks that were left behind. I have yet to try and remove these, either with a special cleaner for dashboards or with another Armor All Wipe. I'm not quite sure why there are swirls on certain parts of the dash and not others. I have a VW Bug and it only took 2 wipes to clean my front and back seats, door panels, dashboard and center console. Satisfaction Overall, I am satisfied. The interior of my car is clean, and the wipes did not leave behind a smell or residue. There is no UV protection though; Armor All does make a different wipe specially for UV protection but why they aren't all in the same wipe, I don't know. I would recommend these to other people, but I'd also recommend you test a small portion of your dashboard first, before using a wipe across the entire thing. My swirl marks are minimal, but for some people, any swirl marks, big or small, aren't worth it. I paid $3.99 for these at Target and have seen them at other stores for about the same price.
