My imp

Just got the new project settled in at my sons house, went home. Planned on getting up & going over to begin a little preliminary assessment. But au contraries mon fraire! There's this white sh*t all over the gold paint I'd barely glanced at a mere 24 hrs. ago. Being an Arizona car, I didn't know if it had ever seen the foul white stuff. An introduction had to be made; car-snow, snow-car. Figured I have all kind of time to take pic.'s. Well, not for a few days yet. Being tax season, the wife's basically working everyday until the 15th, so my Imp doesn't go out in this unless it's a dire emergency. Goldy's going to have to sit until I can get over there. The transport company that FINALLY delivered the thing did a great job! I was able to briefly examine the underside of the car. You gotta love rust free sheet metal! The interior's a two tone brownish-tannish affair. Not bad, headliner doesn't sag, carpet looks good, door panels are MINT, along with the outside window sweeps. I plan on luring the living snot out of those things before I ever disturb them in any way. Does anyone have a recommendation? I was told by an upholsterer down in sunny Fla. that you NEVER! EVER! Use Armor All. He showed me all the boat interiors he had to do thanks to use of Armor All. He just did an interior, & the owner said he couldn't wait to get it Armor All'd. Guy told him that sun & AA will kill an interior faster than an unprotected interior (vinyl not leather). He recommended silicone spray with no additives. I know silicone spray will swell certain rubbers. I also know that once you get silicone spray to penetrate the sweeps, that everytime it rains & you open & close your window, it looks like someone spoofed all over your window! Any recommendations? As soon as the snow melts, I'll get pic.'s.
