The previous owner of my CL used a heavy amount of glossy Armor All when detailing the interior. I really don't care that look at all and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to strip that stuff off.

Thanks

If you can get 303 Aerospace cleaner, use that to get the Armor All off, then replace it with 303 protectant.

Armor All is water based so get a slightly damp towel and that should do it.

a towel will work but it will take a while to get all of the armor all out, you can use some rubbing alcohol and dilute it with water, 30/70 rubbing alcohol:water and that will take no time to get the armor-all off. Personally I am a detail freak and love the shiny look, the shinier the better. A dull or matte finish looks like you didn't even clean it. I am so anal about my car being spotless that I gauge its cleanliness when it doesnt shine bright anymore. Just my

That's an oxymoron.

Good vinyl dressing products don't leave a greasy shine.

Doesn't the dashboard glare too much reflecting in the windshield with the shiny finish?

Thanks for the suggestions. The greasy look has been buging me.

I tried to find a place that sells 303 cleaner locally and didn't have any luck. I will give the damp towl a try and see how much work it is then switch to the alcohol solution if need be.

I have read on some past threads that 303 is a nice non-gloss protectant so I will probably pick up some of it. I already have some lexol lying around but it has a light gloss to it.

it's not greasy shit like butter or crisco. It's protectant from uv rays and and dry rot. I clean my dash first with 30/70 rubbing alocohol and water, then apply armor-all extreme shine. The glare doesnt bother me at all. Everyone has there preferances. And I disagree not all good detail products for your dash have a matte finish, that is simply an opinion.
