Tackle on the interior and exterior of your car with this Homemade Armor All Car Cleaning Spray. It will look and smell like new!
When it comes to taking care of our cars, I feel like we either love it or hate it. Although I personally love having a clean and tidy car, keeping it clean it is not my favorite chore in the world. I hate being trapped in small quarters with strong chemicals that I am afraid to touch and breathe in.
I was introduced to this Homemade Armor All Car Cleaning Spray (you know, the car cleaning spray and wipes) a while back and now cleaning my car is no longer a chore I dread. This spray is made up of ingredients I already have in my home, and smells amazing while you are cleaning. Plus, since it contains essential oils, I don’t have to be afraid of touching or smelling the cleaner. In fact, the essential oils help to boost your immune system so deep breaths are welcome. 😉

Hi, could you please tell me what font this is? I assume you used it on a Cricut?
It’s been driving me crazy lol
Karrie says
The closest I could come up with is Joshico font.

Pretty darn far from the effect of the real stuff. The silicone in Armor all is what makes it slick. This may leave you a similar finish but it will attract dust and dirt not repel it.
Nickarus says
The addition of castor oil to this homemade remedy would be much more appealing, as well as effective than the silicone found in armor all. Using Castrol oil on your tires, and that will shine them better, and protect them better than any tire shine on the market the proof is in the pudding.
