I have a armorall problem, I want to repaint my metal dash but it as been sprayed with armorall, how do I clean the armorall off the dash

Hot soap and water?

Use a high quality wax and grease remover like PPG DX330. With 2 clean white cloth towels in hand, Wipe about 2 square feet with the DX330 then wipe dry with the other towel. Go in on direction only, not back and forth, and use a clean part of the towel every time you wipe. Trash the 2 towels and move on the the next section with a new pair. Heep repeating until the towels stay clean. Don't allow the DX330 to dry on it's own. The idea is that the DX330 will lift the wax and grease and you wipe it off, if you let it dry, it settles bach on the piece.

After it's clean, do it again. Armourall is nasty stuff to get off. They I would wet sand the dash with a red 3M Scothch Brite pad using DX330 in stead of water and wiping dry with the towel. Then clean the dash again the the DX330 and towels, then tack cloth and paint.

It's a lot of cleaning, but you gotta make sure you get all the Armourall off!!! At least it's only a dash, you should see the morons who use it on their paintjobs.

The manufacturer of the tonneau cover for our truck used Armoral specifically as an example of what not to use on the cover. They recommended mild soap and water. Tri-sodium-phosphate (TSP) is also a good final cleaner and can be found at hardware and automotive stores.

Always had great luck with a product called SimpleGreen. Most hardware stores along with K-Mart & WalMart carry it. Plus, you can use whatever you have leftover as a household cleaner.

I don't know how far you are going in the process but I suggest you use a chemical stipper and get down to the metal. It really doesn't take much more time ---just prep and mask the area well and don't get the stripper on your skin. I can tell you there is not much more frustrating than getting most of the dash done and looking back a few minutes later to see the paint lifting in a couple spots the armorall didn't get totally removed from. I bought stripper from Home Depot--Spray on from Klean Strip I believe.

If you strip the dash to bare metal, you'll have to rinse the dash to remove the chemical ,metal prep it to prevent flash rust, then prime with a metal etch, followed by a sanding prime, then sealer and finally paint. If you use a wax and grease remover from and automotive paint maker and degrease several times, I think it'll work.
