We have used an STP product called Sonof a Gun. It is similar to ArmorAll, but we have found that it never seems to cause any problems with the balloons. We also wash metal frames with it if balloons are going to be wrapped on the frame. If you want to use HiFloat as a shining agent, mix 1 part Hi Flaot with 2 parts water and wash the balloon with it and allow to dry. A fan helps the drying. This will keep a balloon stay shiny until it deflates. But it really only works on balloons that have been stuffed with gifts. Once again, though, EXPERIMENT!!!!!!! There is no substitute for trying things on your own until you get it down to suit you. Good Luck.. Wynn and Lindy Bell, CBA's The Final Touch Portland, Or 503 579 9499
