Let's say (for the sake of argument) that someone (just someone. definitely not me) happened to use Armor All on their dash (completely by accident, I'm sure) and now the dash is very shiny and causes glare on the windshield when driving in direct sunlight and occasionally at night when passing under street lamps.

How would that someone (did I mention that it wasn't me?) go about removing the shine without damaging the dash? (You know, hypothetically.)

 

Sandpaper maybe... lol

 

Believe it or not, it will go away with time. If you can't wait, then gently clean the dash with a damp cloth a few times, and then you can try (in a small spot first to make sure it doesn't discolor) something like Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. That might help the cleaning process along.

If we are ever attacked by aliens like in War of the Worlds, it won't be our germs that will stop the invaders. It will be Armor All Interior Detailer.

 

The best matte finish I have found is Poorboy's World Natural Look - looks clean but no gloss....love the stuff - great smell too

 

Caution, I was using "goof off" cleaner to get a paint spot off the dash of our 99 accord and it removed the beige colorof the dash as well, yikes! now instead of white paint, I have a black streak where the dash pain came off!

 

It happens more than you think...that is why on every can of cleaner it now says "test in a inconspicuous area first" You can always stain the vinyl with vinyl stain...I remember seeing at either a wal*mart or auto parts store if it really annoys you. Good luck finding the right color though.

 

any tips on touching up this spot I created?
