All my experience with Armor-All (sp?) Protectant has been very good.
I have used it for several years to preserve rubber and vinyl on my
motorcycles, and it has definitely done the job with no apparent
damage to any of the materials it has been applied.  Purchased retail
at a parts house it tends to be fairly expensive, but it is usually
available on sale in discount stores.  I have no interest in the prod-
uct, it just seems to do what it claims!  I began using it after having
read recommendations in two different cycle magazines.  Good luck with
your Honda, I loved mine through all 150,000 of its miles.
