Alright, doing a family members car, and I ran into a problem, it's an 05 BMW 525i and I used armor all wipes on the wood trim on the dash, well.... the armor all wipes seemed to strip the nice shiny polish ontop of the wood now it's a rough feeling, not rough like you'd imagine would to be... but just not smooth at all compared to spots I didn't hit yet, any ideas? It looks and feels really bad and I feel just horrible.
 
Lesson 1..... Don't use armor all wipes on anything else....



If you can get your hands on some vinyl cleaner and conditioner(like Meg's #40) or a OTC Meg's product. Try that on a small area, possibly that is not seen, to test the product.
 
This does not make much sense. I do not see how wipes would strip the clear coat from the wood. Could it be the AA is just sitting on top and making it look dull? I would simply take a slightly damp MF and wipe off the residue. I think that would do the trick.
 
sounds like something that happened on my conference table. I don't know what the hell the cleaning ladies used, but it seems like the laminate/clear coat just FAILED all over the table leaving it splotchy and kind of rough feeling. Hopefully it is not the same as what you're experiencing, but you may be screwed.
 
Already tosed the AA wipes, anyways, I tried scrubbing it with some dish detergent and water, didn't seem to work so I doubt it's the AA on top.... what products would you recommend to restore the gloss
 
Maybe try some Meguiar's Paint Cleaner and/or Polish. I only suggest these b/c I figure you'll need something local rather than ordering something.

That would be pristine if I could find something around here and not have to wait a few days, I can't believe that stuff tore the clear coat right off, I would have never imagined, from now on I consult autopia.
 
If you don't have ANY cleaner waxes or polishes on hand; you can find this OTC nearly anywhere.



Meg's ScratchX (rub lightly) and see if the haze will polish out.



Mother's Cleaner Wax...works better than you think on stuff like this. Just buff; let haze; remove.
