Help....dash is ugly

Spent all afternoon yesterday, the car was all waxed and shiny (Meguiars 3 step). The interior leather all cleaned up...carpets and dash all clean and shinny like new.

But then this morning i see ugly swirl marks on the dash. Almost looks as if it were too dry or something to that effect. I used Armorall cleaning wipes as i always do....

I was after that clean, well nourished look that you get after freshly cleaning with armorall...now a friend tells me that armorall does that when immediately exposed to sun.... That cant be true, can it ??? !!

Is there anything i can do to bring the dash back to life ?

Yeah, Armorall does that if it dries to quickly - it will also condense on the inside of your windows in the form of a greasy film. You either need to re-do the dash with the Armorall and keep it out of the sun for a day, or switch to another product. There are several out there - personally, I use Lexol and have great results.

303 is a favorite among some around here too. Leaves a satin finish and has the UV protection.
here's a thread from a few days ago

I just put some 303 on my doors. The stuff is amazing. Returned the plastic to a shiny black look without looking or feeling greasy. It even blended in the scuff marks on the plastic.
