I tend to get a little disturbed when anyone comes
near my cars with A-A also. The guys at the carwash
may not know my name, but they know I hover over the
car and get a little crazy whenever one of the crew
ignores the "NO TIRE DRESSING" instruction written on
the ticket...
My first encounter with the evil A-A was in the '70s.
A friend had a year-old Demon with nothing left of the
vinyl that should've covered the dash padding after
using A-A on it. I've seen the stuff shorten the life
of vinyl tops as well. These results FWIW were in very
hot climates and I consider it possible that A-A might
be less evil elsewhere, but I have trouble trusting
anything that makes tires glossy. (I dunno, call me
old-fashioned.)
I had an A-A sales rep in my cab once, a nice young
lady that thought my copy of Hemmings made me a hot
sales prospect and didn't really understand the word
"no". I promise, I was polite as long as I could be,
but I think she knows not to press the issue next
time...
