Paint strippers?

A milder substitute could be acetone. Kaso try mo muna sa tagong part at baka lalong lumala problema, hehe.

DIY mo muna subukan mong pahiran ng Armor All baka sakaling ma-restore pa.

get an APC properly diluted to its proper ratio before using dressings (armor-all).

if im not mistaken, hindi cleaner ang armor-all. also, try to get a dedicated product for your dash.

make sure to re-wipe after applying your dressing to get a nice matte finish. greasy doesn't really work.

There have been stories that have shown Armor All to have been resposible for cracked dashboards.

If you want good UV protection, I'd suggest Aerospace 303 if you can get them. They're worth $12 here and even have a SPF value (40 yata?). SPF means sun protection factor, and is the same thing with the ones you see in Coppertone bottles.

Give claybar a shot, it has effectively removed paint overspray on one of our cars when our boy did some DIY work and there was a good wind. If not, I've always had good luck with a good paint cleaner. If yours is a plastic dashboard, a plastic cleaner/restorer should also work. PlastiX comes to mind here.
