wait for it to wear off. it'll eventually get dull again. try goo gone on the dash. and for the seats try some actual leather cleaner.

I personally use Zaino Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner and Z-10 Leather in a Bottle. Works good for me.

ArmorAll is harsh stuff to use in our nice cars, throw it away and never use it again!

In addition to leaving the greasy residue, it actually dries out the material and makes it stiffer, leaving it prone to cracking and just flat out looking ugly.

I saw that ad for Meguiar's Instant Detailer spray ... I wanna try that out. Supposedly it's safe for all types of materials, and won't damage like ArmorAll and other cheap cleaners.

Armor All actually contains water which gets into the pores of our interior and then dries out with the heat and causes cracks in the vinyl and leather.

You could try using some 303 Aerospace Cleaner and a soft bristle brush to work it in to remove the Armor All.

If you want to apply a protectant, use 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Great advice ckg35! I would also recommend the 303 lineup of products for the G35 interior. Great matte finish as well as UV protection. No greasy or oily look at all.

If anyone has any questions on the 303 products, please let me know.

George

armoll no longer causes cracking, its been reformulated for a while now. Its just too glossy IMO. A good all purpose cleaner mixed at the proper dilution should do a good job at removing it. I prefer meguiar's APC+, but it only comes in a gallon size and is kinda hard to find. Its a great deal though at ~$10 and lasts quite a while diluted.

Before putting on a protectant, use a cleaner to remove your "shiny stuff". 303 also has a cleaner. Then, apply your 303 protectant. I use it on the entire interior.

I clean everything with soap/water, dry it with air compressor and treat it with some Meguiar's high endurance protectant. For seats I use Meguiar's Goldclass leather cleaner/conditioner. NO GREASY feeling and actually moisturizes the leather from what I can tell so far.

it never hurts to take a dry cloth and "buff" your interior after you've applied your dressing. it takes off any extra material left behind, and leaves you with a nice matte finish.
