Sticky Glossy Dash

Topic starter

Hi, Scotty.

I have a 2010 Lexus RX350.  Apparently a detailer used an ArmorAll type product on the dash and it has left a sticky and very high gloss finish.  This causes terrible glare onto the windshield when driver during the day.  Do you know how to clean/remove this stuff and to restore the matte finish?

Thank you.

It may be a manufacturing defect. Certain model Toyota and Lexus vehicles are known to have problems with the dashboard plastic melting. There are various solutions to the problem out there.

Welcome new member.  

I'd start with ChrisFix's good-ol' "soapy wooder" and a microfiber towel.  The rest should come up with a dry cotton bath towel and a little elbow grease.  If it is a plastic and not leather dash, you can also try 409, but test a small spot first.

I'd probably avoid most degreasers since they can leave just as much residue.
