Or the Ford dealership here will help you out. They just take a knife to
them.

Prestone spray silicone or equivalent, Westley's Black Magic "Tire
Wet," "Armor-All" or Meguiar's should suffice.

None of which are going to protect it from a sufficiently sharp knife.

I've never cared for ArmorAll. I really don't think it does anything but put
a coat of oily crap on what you wipe it on. Its pretty worthless IMO.

I would trust Meguiars to come up with something that actually works. Which
is probably why I use it. It seems to do a real nice job on the
upolstery, and rubber parts around the windows and doors. Holds up well.
Haven't smeared in on the CV boots yet though.

I haven't found ArmorAll to be all that effective but Westley's
Black Magic is quite good. Any idea if anyone is making a coating with "UV"
protectant?

Maybe if you weren't a stupid top poster, your words would carry more
weight.

Oh, it's you again...the anal-retentive bottom poster. Hi, boy, how're
you doing? It's been a while. So how's the family?

Thanks for the tip, but my words carry weight wherever they are
written, top or bottom, and even with typos.

Too bad yours don't no matter what you scribble.

pork oil or chicken oil is a good start

Wrong, top poster.
