According to their MSDS, Armorall is mostly water and a silicone emulsion. That silicone will cause you subsequent problems on refinishing. Armorall was also successfully sued by at least one of the consumer protection/advocacy groups because it does long term damage to materials it is applied to, requiring reapplications of only their product to prevent excessive drying that it induces. You would probably do far better simply using a good wax.
