One thing to be very cautious about is getting the Armor All on the tread of the tires. My wife's cousin said he took a bike to a detailer to get it ready to sell. He left the detailer and rode to a near by fast food place and on the first sharp turn in the parking lot he leaned and down went the bike. So I think it is not a very good idea to use Armor All on tires.
Regards,
Terry
