  • We flag Skin sensitization or allergic contact dermatitis, Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components, Oil oxidation or rancidity if stored improperly and Buildup or residue on leather if overused on the and not on the Armor All.
  • The Armor All is Silicone polymer blend with water and stain resistance additives where the is Lanolin-based leather conditioning oil, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the is the one to buy.
