hey what am i uppose to use on my tc dash to shine it. i used amorall and it looks crappy now ?!?!? any suggestions

 

Get a micro fiber towel, ans some very mild and dilute soappy water. Then mix some water and Murphys Oil Soap (2 or 3 parts water to one part Murphys). Spray the towel and wipe the dash. The biggest problem I have is lint from some towels. An old well washed microfiber towel works best.

the tC dash isn't meant to shine. If it were supposed to shine, it would have been that way when you bought it......

easiest way to clean it is a lightly damp micro-fiber cloth....my fiancee made the mistake of using armorall and I had to wash it all off......the dash is supposed to be dull.....it's not leather...or vinyl....

 

I use Meguires... Armorall IMO is the worst thing in the world for it. Meguires does not leave it all greasy and shiny. It makes it look nice and clean. And it is a lot better for the materials you use it on.

 

exactly. do it and you won't be disappointed.

 

i like armour all WIPES,they don't leave no lint behind

 

But they do leave a greasy residue.

I never liked the smell of dash protectants. IMO, they make you car smell old, kind of the opposite of what it should be doing.

A bit of soapy water plus a microfiber towel will do the trick.

 

But they still leave that oily residue, and over time are not the best for your dash unless you keep using them.

 

I agree, Armor-All will actuallt start to fade your dash/plastic over time and use of the product.

 

Go Jo can also clean your dash of that Armor All crap.


General information for young smart guys:

I recall when that Armor All came to market- over thirty years ago.

Armor all is a water-emulsion of silicone oil, primarily.

No maker of tires or auto interiors that I know about -recommends- Armor All or any such similar "protectant"

You bought the sizzle but did not get any steak


For a -really useful silicone product- see RainX. That came out about 1971, too, and is a fine product. Before RainX we used silicone auto polish that handled like the old "Glass Wax". Was easier to use than regular RainX.

But --- -sizzle sells more potatoes in retail than it seals honest steak!

Where do you prefer to spend your $$$, guys?

 

what the hell is it with you and Go Jo....I swear you work for them....You'd probably say it's better than anything for cleaning....even toothpaste.....

 

hahahaha

 

:? I like armorall.

 

Just used armorall on my dash and it looked great...a little bit of shine and no greasy feel after a day, i feel my dash is more protected now. On another note, DON"T WASTE your money on armorall Extreme tire shine...used it on my tire and the shine lasted about an hour or so...but it does clean your tires, then again, i can clean my tires with something else...and Don't use armorall auto glass...it leaves way too many white streaks even when i wipe my windows with a microfiber window cloth.

 

what would you guys recommend then, to protect the dash and door panels without leaving the icky grease and shine?

 

Plain water! A damp microfiber towel can do wonders to your interior!

 

Murphys oil soap ( use as recommended above) and a nice clean sponge.

 

Armorall looks and smells like that because they use formaldehyde.

Not sure about you, but I don't dig breathing that crap in.

As stated, a damp Microfiber cloth is all it takes.

 

Meguires works the best IMO.. and it smells good to.

 

Ditto on the Armorall. I used it a week ago and it looks great. I didn't like my dash looking dull/dry. Just remember to wipe off the excess after applying it...leaving it on will result in a greasy nasty mess.
