: I didn't mean to jump on anyone, (Well, except maybe Armor-All) so please accept my apologies. I admit my experience & knowledge is based on the product from years ago. As a piano Tuner, I have experienced it ruining keytops and as a car owner, vinyl dashes. The silicone acts as a stress release agent, so the molding stresses in the parts become concentrated and voila, a crack! Maybe this doesn't happen to molded rubber, so I should have been more explanatory in my posting. If it does still contain silicone, though, I'd avoid it because of the paint touch-up problem. Hmm, the rubber parts probably have silicone mold release agent on them anyway--the whole question may be mute!

Don't beat on yourself 'cause your not that far off!! Armorall is a good product for what its designed for but used in excess and not wiped down its like anything in excess!!!! I've found its best to use a mild liquid soap, DILUTED!!, and remove the excesses when working with small rubber parts. One way to refresh rubber parts is to rub them with Go-Jo and wipe them down well, makes'em look like new!!I've never experienced paint problems around rubber parts using the above procedures.
I WOULDN'T TRY USING GO-JO TO INSTALL RUBBER PART THOUGH!!!!!
