Thread: Removing 'Armor All' Type Shine from Dash?

  1. 05-01-2012 10:07 PM #1
    Today I decided to clean out to inside of my car. Normally I use Einzette 'Cockpit' or Meguiar's 'Quik Interior Detailer' but of course I'm out of both so I decided to try some Turtle Wax 'Ice Interior Care' I had laying around. What a mistake! I prefer the 'matte' finish and this is far from it, despite not being greasy it still gives off that glare that Armor All would. Is there an easy way to remove this? I'm order from DetailersDomain soon (Once they get the Meguiar's 'All Purpose Cleaner Plus' back in stock, hear that Phil!?) and picking up Einzette 'Plastic Deep Cleaner' so this should help but until then, what can I use? I've heard of Window Cleaner with Ammonia works but how true is this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    I wouldn't use alcohol on any of my interior dash or other slightly absorbent materials. Your best bet would be a dedicated interior cleaner. I have great success with DP's Total Interior Cleaner:

    I have my dedicated cleaners already but finally ran empty and decided to give 'Ice' a try. I fixed my mistake though. Took some 1Z Cockpit to it and it returned back to its matte finish. Gave the 'Ice' to a friend, lesson learned.
