Recommended Posts

this truck is armor-all'd to the max every freakin panel, flat surface has it on there and i have already used a micro fiber with soap and water and still needed to use glass cleaner on the dash because the soap and water didn;t work. HELP

I d leave it be before you use something that may over dull the finish. be careful with the glass cleaner, the alcohol could damage the finish. it should dull with time and simple cleaning with water on a soft cloth. I m sure something like SimpleGreen would help but again be careful.

I HATE Armor all, cannot stand the smell of it. It also only shines the top, and does not soak in, had a dash blister up, thankfully baby oil saved it. No more armor all EVER again!!

Armor-all for interiors is bad.... But meguiars int. wipes are awesome.... they clean / soak in / keep the surface protected...

 

To remove it , i would use a mild soap / water..... stay away from anything with alcohol in it...

I think Armour All has a heavy dose of silicone in it. I stopped using it 20 yrs ago. Hate the stuff.

 

I found that repeat uses of that yellow can of foam upholstery cleaner from Kragen will eventually clean of any Armour All that a local detailer used on my truck. Glass cleaners have ammonia which can be hard on plastics.

 

Dawn dish soap removes most anything oily pretty easily. Might be worth a try. It's fairly gentle as well.

thanks to all who replied. I was succesful on the dash and doors but the qtr panel interior trim pieces aren't cooperating. I've used soap and water, tuff stuff and invisible glass. I swear they used some kind of silicone this is ridiculous. I gave up and am now just waiting for it to dull and go away. I bought hte meguiars interior cleaner/protectant stuff hopefully that'll work better to keep the finish even..

When I bought my '06 Silverado, the dealer had applied armor-all to the MAX to all the interior surfaces and also some sticky film stuff on the tires that would not come off during a regular washing. That stuff, whatever it was, had to wear off, which it finally did. The armor-all eventually wore off also. I don't use armor-all myself nor do I know what products are safe for interior surfaces and I no longer use any kind of cleaning solvents on the interior either, as it will eventually dull the finish. When I didn't know better, I used to clean my old '95 GMC work truck interior with Windex, which has ammonia in it. It used to be a nice gray color but now its faded white ... looks awful, but then it's just an old work truck. Now all I use on the interior is a soft rag wrung out in some warm water, then a dry soft cloth ... cleans all the surface dust and dirt equally well without damaging anything.

I agree..Letting the Armour All wear off is the best way. The when you are ready to do your interior and Tires and any other exterior plastic i would recommend a product called "303".It's the best stuff I have ever used. Doesn't smell, it is 100% U.V. protected and I don't even use tire covers for my RV or boat trailer when not using them...Never had tire sidewall cracks from sun exposure. Thousands of weekend sailors in Florida and California use this stuff on their sails to protect them from the sun's rays..You can buy buy the spray bottle or by the gallon....Give it a try...In Canada you can get it it at Canadian Tire and Auto part stores.
