Default ahhh! HELP!

I got my car washed today like i do every week, i told and tell the guys "no armerall"..on the inside. Well today the decided to ignore me and armeralled my inside and did a HORRIBLE JOB! i have never armerall any of my cars because i think it looks crappy, they have a lot of spots that they missed...my Q is : Is there anyway i can remove the armerall and hopefully bring my dashboard to what it used to be?

I would use a solution of water and a mild detergent to remove the armor-all. Once that is done, go over everything with 303 Aerospace Protectant and never look back.

Yeap, soap and water will remove the Armor-All. You might want to use a microfiber towel or a terry cloth towel to wash it with. Something with a "nap" to get into the dimples and irregular surface to get all the AA out. After washing, wipe it down with just plain water to get all the soap residue off the surface.

As Camaro194 pointed out, 303 Aerospace Protectant is THE treatment to use on the interior of the Z.

Most people avoid Armor All with a passion. I don't like the look or feel of it. Earlier formulations would actually damage vinyl interiors.

a. Do nothing. Armorall will wear off in a couple of months.
b. If car wash is good enough for the outside, then its good enough for the inside.

Reminds me of wiping the interior with mayonnaise.

I can't stand to have that thing any longer, there is no way i would wait months. I always have them clean the inside, but don't like mayonnaise on my dashboard/door.

If you like it (which I'm sure you will), you can get a 128oz jug online for @ $50. I know my 16oz spray bottle was @ $12 from Ace.
