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.

armorall = garbage.

 

Thanks, I'll check out 303 / Lexol for sure. Armorall...never again.

 

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.

 

303 it!

 

303 is awesome. the dash is back to looking as good as new. thanks ppl.

 

Like everyone said, 303 is the bomb.

 

303..no other! Don't let the shine from the dash blind ya' ..
