mathews31 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I used to think Auto store products were the stuff to use. They were they best in my head. Til I realized I was using a half a gallon of soap to get some suds. I wish I was lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey1111 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 in the mid 80s i armor all'ed the vinyl bench seats on my mom's 1978 dodge diplomat--and the pedals and steering wheel, too! it seamed like a reasonable thing to do for a not-yet-driver. that was not well received--but it sure looked good!

I remember doing that kind of thing, too, in my '79 Celica. The first few drives after that "detailing" weres "on full alert" driving adventure to make sure your hands didn't slip off the wheel, your feet off the pedals or your *** off the seat. lol mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
