HA! No, that's not me!

I just use the regular spray. When I removed the original 35-year-old hoods to replace with the white one, they were so difficult to remove off the brake levers that I had to resort to using pry bars of various materials in order to force the hoods off the levers. The pressure I was applying was immense, and really wore me out.

Even with all this tugging, prying and pulling--they never even came close to tearing. So yeah, I may just stick with the Armor All.
