No, but you raise an intriguing possibility that I don't believe anyone has yet investigated. You have a golden opportunity to make your name famous in medieval studies. Simply spray yourself liberally with Armor All and have a friend or relative strike you repeatedly with a sword, axe, mace, lance or halberd. If you don't have access to any medieval weapons, a machete, club or baseball bat should work equally well. With the type of intellect you obviously possess I suspect that you'll have no trouble finding volunteers willing, even eager to assist you. I know I would. To ensure a thorough test, make sure that your assistant hits you multiple times and as hard as possible. And don't be discouraged by any pain, blood or broken bones, remember you're doing this for science, so follow through! Please post your findings on the Internet, and don't forget to let the Armor All people know, as I'm sure they'll want to post your testimonial about how effective their product is in close combat.

The info I received was that what they needed to do was spray themselves with Right Guard. Just think, all that mail underneath the armor, and probably long johns or such under all that!!! Whew, Armor All might make them shiney and purty, but who could get within ten feet of them without wearing a clothespin on their nose? Yes I would say the aerosol of choice would definitely be ye aulde d'oderante!!!

At one time, yes. That was when there a fairly lucrative incentive given by Armor All if they wore the corporate logo prominently displayed. However, as more and more companies wanted the Knights to display, and endorse various products, such as US Steel, WD 40, and a myriad of broadcasters like ESPN, Jousters TV, etc., the available areas of the armor became too high priced. Armor All pulled their sponsorship, based on their belief that it was better to allocate their advertising dollars in different venues. A broader audience, if you will.
Since there is now no financial reward for the knights to use Armor All, they started to use STP. Still a fine sponsor supporting such valuable sports as nude female wrestling, greased pig rodeos, and midget flag pole climbs (one of my favorites).

They did at first, but strangely enough many of them became addicted to spraying and thus, it became quite a lubricative business for the Armor All peddlers. Tired of those greasy-palmed merchants taking all their wealth, knights switched to using something much better - brake fluid. They were able to stop whenever they wished.

No, but they did rub charcoal in the plating of their armor to keep it from rusting, therefore the term "black knights".

Since Armor All is intended to preserve plastic or vinyl, I rather doubt it would have been much use to them.
