dont use windex. The ammonia will dry up the plastic and expose lots of fine scratches. If warm water and a clean cloth doesnt remove the blotches, it may have already damaged the plastic. I use meguiars plasticX polish for the gauge cluster cover and would recommend it.

i got that too. 3 of em in 1 bag. i think the glass cleaner ****ed up my tint too.

biggest rip off, they are all worthless except the protectant which gives the dash a nice shinny look.

what you have to do with the armor all is first wipe it on, then wipe it off will a terry cloth towel or something like that. otherwise it will leave streaks or marks. the dash isnt really affected but the plastic around the radio and acc streaks easily, just wipe the armor all off while it is still wet and you will have no problem, and it will still look sparkling clean.

That Armor All All purpose cleaner left permanent streaks on my clock as the plastic over my speedo etc. Horrible stuff! I do not recommend it for anything. I have had those streaks for 2 years and I have not been able to get rid of them!! Never again.!!
