hey I don't think that is causing your dash to turn white like that, I 've also used armoral for years and never had a prob like that. But you know what, if you really feel that it caused it. Take some pics and give Armoral a call a make a complaint. I m sure that they replace it or repair it. Its wroth a shot.

I read somewhere to use furniture cleaner like Pledge. No waxy buildup and it doesn't attract dust. Plus your interior will smell lemony fresh.

paint it with a gloss black interior paint, it looks just as good with no maintinence. just make sure all that armorall is gone before you do, otherwise it'll fisheye like mad and turn out crappy.

What do you do if the dash has already cracked? I would like to fix the crack that is already in the dash. I was thinking just fill it with something and repaint the dash. Would that work very well? I don't think Epoxy would be too bad in there would it? Hot glue could work too. I could probly give one of those a try anyway. I use a dash cover right now. But if anyone has alradey tried on of those already let me know so I'm not retrying someything that's already been done. Thnaks

Black shoe polish will disappear. I guess it melts too easy.

I've used Black Magic and don't really like it. It makes the door panels shine really well, but for the dash pad, don't use it. It leaves grey areas where its sprayed, and doesn't shine too long. It also turned my console lid grey.
