It is really good on car plastic interiors.... anyone used it on pens or read the ingredients list ?

Don't want to mess up my ( hasn't arrived yet ) 1924 Red Ripple 52 1/2V ....scored last night on Ebay...
I might try it on my Green Phileas ? Or my ' practice fixing { $15 total ,broken nib}' BCHR waterman when it arrives....

I looked at the MSDS. I don't think I'd want to smear the DEA on something I handle all the time (toxic and possibly carcinogenic) -- if you want to use a "silicone shine", Armor-All looks safer, but personally I'd stick with something like Tryphon's "Pen Shine", or a non-petroleum oil without all the other stuff mixed in.
