Armor All stains on guages?
was looking through the Z last night and noticed what appears to be spots on the oil, info and voltage pod lenses. I tried rubbing out with my finger and a lens cleaning cloth... nothing.
Anyone know of a product or whatever to get this out of there?
We just got the car this past Saturday, and this is what I get?!?
I am hesitant to take it back to the dealership as I just don't trust them to fix it right.

Since Armour All is a petroleum product, you are looking at oily stains. Try using vinegar and water mixture, or for a good cleaner, Clear Vision from ProperAutoCare.com is good. I think it has alcohol in or something. Great glass cleaner.

I hadn't thought about vinegar. Thanks.
I am not sure if it is Armor All, but the location leads me to believe that it's some sort of dash shine junk.

Well, a little update on this...
I could not get the stains out no matter what. I complained to the dealer and 3 weeks later we have new gauge lenses in the car.
Since they had screwed up on the order, we also got oil change for free, rental car for the day and they replaced the subwoofer and rear-view mirror, too (both were rattling)
Case now closed.

just a short 2 cents for what its worth to anybody with armorall
DO NOT EVER APPLY IT TO YOUR DASH sure it will shine , but this stuff will react somehow with the sunlight and in a short time you will have one severlly cracked and messed up dash , this is no bs , i have unintencionally done this twice ,before it was pointed out as the cause , and its nor worth it so ? do as you please , but you have been warned
