    I used to use Pedros Bike Lust (lost custody of the bottle of spray). It may be sacrilege, but I think the Armor All was a little better. Not as watery and it seemed to polish up more.

    One wipe did all of Flossie with Armor All to spare. I didn't do the wheels/tires/rims/saddle/bars, but I did darn near everything else and oooooh, is she purty! The LBS guys said it protects the bike well. We'll see if it repels dust and such, too!

    The jar I have is orange and yellow and says: ArmorAll Original Protectant Wipes. 25 wipes in the jar.

    I suppose any ArmorAll would work, this was what the store had. They did a very nice job on all 3 of the bikes in my household.

    Just be a bit careful... Armor All'd my motorcycle seat one time... that was an interesting ride. Good thing I had strong quads to grip onto the tank when I took my first turn. I thought it was bad for paint though. Also, don't put it anywhere that your brakes touch or anything that relies on friction.

    Says right on the jar not to use it on paint, but I did. I'll let y'all know if the paint peels off or something.

    LBS has used it, so we'll just have to see how it all turns out.

    But my bikes are shiney and purty, even the old Trek looks sparkly!
