Today I have begun on my tan to black conversion, starting with the center console. At some point however, those horrible Armor All wipes were used on the car, leaving an oily residue that the paint I am using cannot penetrate, so it rises and seperates. Does anyone know a good chemical to fight off that disgusting oily crap? I'm getting close to using clearasil on it or somthing

Maybe dish soap??? Of course that would be messy.

windex works.

excellent, I am beginning to think Windex can do anything

Just be extra generous and wet everything down!

If windex doesn't work, try any common all purpose cleaner. I use Meguiars APC+ as a cleaner and really like it. However, you can just use Simple Green to remove the Armor all.

rubbing alchohal might work

I use these on my stock black interior...what's so bad about them?

Simple green is the stuff... We use it to clean engines, wheels, and very rarely, to clean wasted cars...

If you like having a dash that feels like the face of a pimple faced overhormonally challenged teenager, then there is nothing wrong with them. They leave a disgusting oily feel.

Windex - no go
Lysol grease cutter - better

i like the suggestion of simple green.. just don't use that stuff at full stength

 

[Furious05]

Simple green diluted is perfect for armor all removal.

 

[PapaDizzle]

how diluted?

 

[MorningZ]

3 parts green to 1 part water should be diluted enough

Perfect. Simple green is great stuff. Safe to use and not much is needed. Full strength is usually for rims and engines.

A diluted mixture of Spray nine worked for my interior.

I dunno how harsh it was, but it sure removed the oily coat in a hurry (3 parts spray nine and 1 part water).

they arent very good at vinyl protection. if all you care about is the shine then they are good. but if you want a good look along with protection then use something like meguiars #39
