Short, funny (to me) story. My first new vehicle was a base, base, base, 2wd Toyota truck. Vinyl floors, vinyl bench seat, power nothing, you know. I loved that thing, cleaned it all the time. I liked what armor all did to the dash, and so my very wise 16 year old self (I bought it with my own money that I worked for, fyi), thought it would be cool to make the steering wheel and bench seat shine. Loaded it up with armor all.

I'm surprised I'm still alive to be honest. That shit was dangerous!

Yeah, so don't, uh, do that.

All we know is.... He's called The Stig

similar to the dudes that armor all their motorcycle seats and then end up hanging on for their dear life when accelerating or braking and then hitting their fruit basket right into the gas tank

Now, there's a case where Armor-all on the tires IS downright dangerous.

Really? I thought I was the one all those warning labels were written for!

The steering wheel, I admit, sucked... But the worst was that vinyl bench seat! I was flying all over. Okay, not all over, I had a seat belt I luckily had yet to armor all, but there was still a lot of sliding going on!

The bench sucked too. But, who wore seatbelts back then? You slid clear across to the other door lol
