Plus it is the cause of that funny fog on the inside of your windshield
that looks like the defroster should be able to get rid of, but instead takes
real elbow grease to remove.  Takes several months before it stops depositing.
Definitely avoid Armorall on the inside of your car (although it does seem
to work at getting the color back into exterior rubber and plastic, at least
for a week or so at a time).
