Armor all dashboard wipes on engine hoses.

[shDK]

Hi all.

Recently, after cleaning my dashboard. I have started using the used dirty dashboard wipes for a quick cleaning of rubber and plastic parts in the engine bay. They give a pretty good result on engine covers, intake boxes and so on.

But I came to think about if it would be okay to use it on coolant hoses and other rubber hoses in the engine bay, or if the chemicals in the dashboard wipes could harm the hoses or others rubber parts.

The product is Armor all wipes and the car is a toyota.

What does the experts think ?

Thanks in advance.

If your product is the cleaning wipes I'd bet you're okay.

The penetrant in the others might be a problem on some plastic compounds.

Today's hoses are quite improved. I couldn't tell you if they react with anything or not.

Denmark is great.

Seems quite tedious. I use a spray bottle and spray everything under the hood.
