How to remove Armor-All

Gihgehls

I just bought a car (G35 coupe, hotttttt) but the stupid dealership shellacked the whole interior with wretched Armor-All or something like it. I don't want my car to look nor feel like it was dipped in oil. I read a few pieces of advice about using highly diluted woolite to wipe it off, but I wanted to tap into the collective knowledge of this forum before I tried going that route. Any ideas?

Maybe dish soap? I would definitely attempt it in an out-of-sight spot first if possible, because I dunno what it would do to the material.

I've had a couple shops do that to the dash and other plastic/vinyl surfaces before returning it to me and I hate it. If they put a lot on, wiping everything down with microfiber shop rags helps, but I mainly wait it out. It goes away with time and occasionally wiping down the surfaces cause lint and dust become super-apparent when they settle on armor-alled surfaces.

I never tried to clean it off cause it seems like so much work.

Yea, if you wait it out in a couple days it'll fade away.
I use it all the time (well, bought one tube of wipes and use them when the car gets dirty) and just open all the doors and let it dry. I hate the look/feel of the stuff as well.

get an interior quick detailer spray - it'll clean the various oily crap (as well as dirt) off interior plastics - i like the Meguiars if you want it very dry afterwards - if you want a tiny bit of moisture/oil, then try the Lucas Oil brand.

for leather seat, get a leather cleaner and conditioner.

For leather I pretty much use Lexol exclusively. It's always done me very well in the past. I'll look into that Meguiars interior cleaner. Thank you everyone for the replies.

The Meguiar's stuff is very good. Remember, after you suck all the armor-all out of your vinyl surfaces, go over it with a damp rag and do this every few weeks. Really, for normal dust buildup, it's the best way to care for it.
