What kind were you using armor all cracks tires dash boards, best product imo is arero space 303Id be careful using that tire shine on the patent,
the reason being, I was using it on a new set of tires for almost a year, Then 1 day,
,I was cleaning the car,and I noticed little cracks all along the outer sidewalls of the tire..
I started thinking maybe it had something to do with the tire shine..
So to test my hypothesis I took a worn down tread tire ,its sidewall was in good condition.
I then applied the tire shine to it twice a week ,,for roughly 3 months..
Just like I suspected the face on the tire began to get the same cracks,that appeared on my new tires..
From what Ive read, not all tire shines are bad ,its mainly the shines with the silicone which cause problems..
Long and short, No, patent leather isnt the same as rubber, but the silicone in the tire shine can cause rubber to dry rot/dry out
,leather Id imagine would be just as susceptible..
You all can do what you want , I'm just giving food for thought..
