Armor All heads up....

Hey all, I used Armor All to clean up my interior today and it turned some of the plastic white! So, how do I get rid of the white and return it back to the charcoal color? I'm pretty ****ed about it. What does everyone else use to clean their dark interior?

Try Mothers Back to Black on it to bring it back to black.

Did you wipe it off????
Seriously I have had no problem.
Did you put it on a hot surface?

I use armor all too in my interior and I love the results. I've never had any problems!

Can't stand the smell, gloss, and the feel of Armor All. Prefer Mothers (smells pleasant ) or 303 protectant. Hope whatever you do fixes the problem.

Armor All is like crack for your car. The more you use it, the more you have to use it. Otherwise the chit fades to white. Use 303 Aerospace protectant.

If you want to use that stuff on the interior of your car, I would go back over it with a damp towel...Armor All is good for wheel wells only on my Mustangs, even then I cut it with water.

I use all Mequiars gold class products for interior and exterior. No problems at all after using them for 1 1/2 years.

I know several forum members, myself included, use Zaino Z-16 on the interior of our cars. It says Tire Gloss, but Sal said it is good for other plastics, etc. I have used it several times with no problems and it smells fruity.

I use a microfiber towel over the armor all. It removes the blinding gloss!

As others have posted, I do not like the smell, look and feel of an armor all'd dash. I actually just use a pledge "grab it" one of those dry wipes that people use on their floor and stuff. Works great, no greasy film on the dash.

Is there something on the market that repels dust? Because I thought I read somewhere in here that Armor All actually attracts dust?

Or is that an old wives tale?

I've pretty much switched to products mostly from Meguiars - gave up AA a long time ago.

I now use something called "Shine" for interior vinyl...very happy with it. After application, I give it an extra buff with a dry cloth to reduce the high gloss look. To me, it's the closest thing to making the dash and door panels look like they did when new.

Haven't used it on the Mustang yet.

Meguiars for me too. I have used it for several years with great results.
