I'm sure they're safe to use - Armor All takes a ton of flack, and it really is NOT deserved.

My only complaint about wipes is they tend to carry more product to the surface than I want and the canisters tend to allow the wipes to dry out if not used fairly quickly. On the A-A website they say they are guaranteed not to dry out for one year from date of purchase. That's all fine and well as a guarantee, but I still think they're more hassle than they're worth - and that includes our wipes as well.

The only thing that bothers me about this product in particular is their warning: Not for use on floors, vehicle controls (pedals, grips, steering wheels), bench or cycle seats, cycle tires, brake drums and other surfaces where slipperiness may be hazardous. I can only assume this means the end result of using this product is a shiny, slippery surface. Not something I want on my leather seats (again, that is ONLY a guess on my part, but why the disclaimer otherwise?). On the other hand, there are people who like a shine on their interior surfaces.
