100% correct CollinRX7, armorall is baaaaad **** when its get on paint. you have to sand back the area effected because normal thinners do not remove it.
"But obviously real world experience doesn't count for much"
If you think most of the people in here don't have "real world experience" your in the wrong place. Thinking your more "experienced" than everyone gets you no where.
BTW next time you see a 3 foot deep puddle, drive into it, but before you do, keep your engine at redline!

Yeah my bad, sorry for being so completly arogant and obviously wrong... 
Its just that a good friend of mine who happens to work in a paint shop has told me you can't get armoall off paint work very easily at all, obviously his experience's have been all *** about aswell, sorry again.
and that was a silly analagy about the water puddle, we WERE talking about adding a 2 stroke oil into the intake until the motor dies, this WILL NOT hydrolock it or do any damage at all..........
I've stalled out my motor before from injecting too much water into it, from a very poorly setup water injetion setup, and that didn't hydrolock my engine either, maybe its a freak rotary.
You must've had some different experieces with injecting liquids into a rotary?
PS- I don't think im more experienced at all mate, I actually don't know very much about anything to do with cars, I was talking about it in the sense of it was an experience I HAD.....

DONT
CARE
I offer my oppinion, and thats it. I dont feel the need to validate myself to anyone. Take my advice or dont i dont care.
I just try to help people because i know how it feels to need help and not have it!
THE END

ATF is utter crap to put into your engine. To unflood your engine, it's actually better to simply pour a little oil down the carb or into the plug holes. It won't foul plugs or cats nearly as badly as ATF, or even at all. I see absolutely no reason to ever use ATF on or in anything other than an automatic tranny. I mean c'mon, when you're gonna grab a bottle of something to deflood an engine, is it really all that hard to grab regular old Castrol GTX or whatever?
ATF will never touch the internals of any of my engines.
Armor all has been known to destroy dashes and other interior parts. I didn't know it can cause repainting troubles too.

I have a question for you. Are you a member of the rx7club.com? I get that vibe from you. BTW, my comments have nothing to do with the fact that you're right or wrong.
I just come here to learn from people who know things that i dont. And to help people with problems that I have encountered and defeated.

j9fd3s recently had a dash that was juicing a clear liquid. It may have been caused by Armor all. I've heard stories of interior parts cracking and blistering etc from Armor all. It seems STP protectant doesn't cause those types of problems.

What do you guys recommend?
I was thinking of (after It's "parked" but still running when you initally put it into place) letting it idle, and then letting the motor choke itself on 2 stoke into the intake until she shuts down.
Then it would have a nice healthy layer of oil for protection and lubrication over winter, no?
Is there something else I should use?
I'm looking at approximately a 5-6 month rest period for my motor over winter.
I just want to pull it out from sleeping in spring without any troubles and no engine damage. I don't really care about smoke.
What do you guru's reccommend?

And re fisheyes, AA contains sliicone of some sort I believe.
Silicone is a major cause of paint fish-eyes. Acetone based fluids like Prepsol remove it no problem. A lot of pro painters don't use it because it is expensive and with correct cleanliness practice and skills is unneccessary.
Paranoid backyard nongs that paint their own cars like me use about 400 litres of the stuff per respray
