removing Armor All April 12, 2006, 02:01:27 PM So is there a good way to remove Armor All? I used some on my dash last summer (I know ) and I need to take it off to put a dash cap on. Can I just use a degreaser? I don't want to damage the dash top because I need a good surface for the cap. I just want the cap to, you know, stick to the dash :D Quote Selected

I covered my armrest about 4 yrs ago with cloth used thinner to clean them up. Just dampen a rag and wipe down. That will remove all traces of oil and such. Causing really good adhesion. Any way my 2 cents Quote Selected

It's still on my dash. The car spends 80% of it's time in a garage under a car cover so the sun usually dosen't have time to evaporate it.

Dash was perfect untill I cahnged the speaker on the driver's side. Top split like a piece of glass:mad: . That's what happens when it's spent 14 of it's 18 years in California I guess.

removing Armor All Reply #10 – April 19, 2006, 11:21:54 AM Use a degreaser, and then rub the whole thing down with a 3M pad (scuff it up). Make sure you apply the cap in a climate controlled area, or atleast someplace where the temperature won't change drastically within 24-48 hrs. And yes, the pic below is WITH a dash cap. Or, your second option is to spray the whole thing with Rhino Lining... Quote Selected
