Default Never use Armor all products on a German car. It ruins the rubber and vinyl.

303 is OK. Meguiar's is OK too.

Default Interesting.. I use the Leather cleaner/protectant on my seats and it's great

I used to use Lexol. I threw it away. It didn't clean dirt worth a darn. This new AA stuff worked for me.

I just detailed a 540 i last weekend and used the dash/vinyl stuff and the leather product with excellent results.

The OLD original stuff smelled like vomit and was junk.

My wife used both products on her bug, again with excellent results..

All German all great results

Default IMO the Porsche or Audi leather products are better to use...>>>

Expensive, but recommended for the cars.

Default I think armor all has changed their products quite a bit recently

unfortunately for them they still have a bit of a stigma attached from when all they produced was crap.

Default Trust me, I'm a car care snob and buy all the best products.

I got this AA gel stuff for my wife to use on her ride (VW bug). It worked just fine and I saw no need for my high dollar products to get used up on her car. She didn't care, just wants a clean car. I was impressed.. I have not tried the vinyl gel on the TT (and I guess I won't)..

Regarding leather care, I found it (The AA Gel) easier to use and with better results than many (like Lexol, Griot's, Zaino, Hide food and the stuff recommended by the company that sold me my leather hide). I've tried many many products. Knowing me, I've also tried the very products recommended by Audi. Everyone has an opinion and that's cool.

I put Black Magic on my window rubber ONCE and it's been cloudy ever since!
