Door panel/dash/rubber strips cleaning

Hey guys, just a few questions.

I bought some back 2 black for the area below the windshield wipers & the strips of rubber at the bottom of the side windows, and I thought I used it right but it didn't seem to clean it as good as I thought. And I'm one of those people that probably use more paper towels than I need to.

Same thing with Armor-al I used that in the interior and some areas, especially the door panels aren't clean all the way. They kind of seem foggy. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use water first?

Thanks, Debbi

Hi Debbi,

For the rubberized parts, you might want a rubber protectant, like 303 Aerospace or Zaino Tire Gloss. Both leave a matte/satin finish and have UV protection additives. For the dash, you can use the 303 as well or other good products like Meguiar's #40 or Vinylex.

Sometimes that kind of stuff just covers up the wax build up or whatever it is on the plastic or rubber. You might have to do it a lot of times before it comes clean. By the way, it sounds like you're using paper towels. Always use cotton terry cloth towels for detailing, except windows. Towels work much much better.
