Armor All spots on plastic - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #10676 7 posts Started by erc
There are spots on my gauge cluster from where Armor-All sat for a while, and I can't seem to remove them with anything.

Anyone know of a way to remove the spots?
Try rubbing some more armor all on it, let it dry for a minute or so, then rub it off. It's like a reverse method to get it off, but it should work--and if it doesn't, it won't get it worse. I have accidently gotten it on my A/C panel, and it wiped off, but try this method.. it's similar to like when you get a permanent marker on a dry-erase board. It won't come off, but if you use a dry erase marker over the permanent marker, then wipe off the second 'layer', it'll remove the permanent marking as well. Best reference I could think of. Try it out.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
I don't think it's working.. it looks like it works.. the armor all hides the armor all spots, but if I use window cleaner to get the armor all off, the spots return.

I'm thinking the plastic itself is damaged, but idunno. Someone on a car detailing site suggested I try engine degreaser. That scares the hell outa me, especially since it's the clear plastic on my gauge cluster that I'm worried about.

If worst comes to worst, I guess I can either keep my gauge cluster armor all'ed, or buy a replacement bit of plastic from Toyota. (Which I am sure will be retarded expensive)
get some distilled water and a cotton cloth...damp the cloth and rub aways... if that doesn't work then put some viniger on colth...

for now just put the armor all and wipe. don't clean it up with anything else. that's all you can do by the sound of it. at least you won't see the spots for now.
