No doubt about it, Armor All is water based

My bottle froze in my trunk over the last 3 days of subfreezing temperatures. Not frozen solid, but very slushy. Still seems to work fine though.

I left a bottle of Black Magic in my trunk for a few days of freezing weather expecting the same thing. To my relief, it remained liquid with no slush or signs of freezing. My bottle of soft soap/water on the other hand turned into a brick that took a day to thaw out.

Black Magic is probably petroleum based and that is why it didn't freeze.



We got down to 13 the other night, coldest temperatures since 1996.
 
My bottle of Meg's APC is absolutey water based (I added the water myself :D) but it hasn't frozen in the front room of my house (no insulation). Maybe the chems in APC make it less inclined to freeze?
 
If it wasn't water based you wouldn't be able to dilute it with water .. I use it sometimes diluted 50/50 with water in a paint spray gun to do wheel wells etc. Doesn't even separate.

I can't even remember the last time I used Armor All....or if I ever had a product freeze up on me out here in OC. Wonderful winter weather out here today, a gorgeous 78 degrees and sunny....gotta love it!
