CF came off!!! HELP!
This is how my dashboard looks like now after some stupid tried to "armourall it" at the car wash. It looks pretty awful and I want to fix it right away. every time I get on my car I cry just to look at it 
I didnt know the fake CF film was so weak! It looks like if acid was poured, WTF???
Any help on how to fix it nice and quick is pretty much apreciated!
Also, I already did a shearch on how to take out the piece from the dashboard and didnt find any, so if you could also help me with this one I'll be forever thankful.

Holy ****. ArmourAll did that????
I'd take it to the dealer and say WTF! At least call a dealer and tell them what happened. You should be able to use a standard cleaning/protectant on your car without eating the ****ing dash off.

Im a dealer, and I spoke to the warranty guy at MMC and maybe I get warranty on it. But thats not what Im worried about, I'll have to wait like 3 months to get the part even if I pay for it (which I dont mind if its FAST!!) since there are non in stock, it will have to SAIL (yes, by sail I mean by BOAT) from Japan (I dont know why they just can fly it over the poddle, something about regulations). Thats why Im posting here dude

I'll try to make the best out if it, maybe go real CF. I thought about scrapping all but it looks awful already since the plastic beneath its unpainted and ugly raw grey colored.
My hope is that one of you guys knows a stick-on CF that I can buy and apply to the plastic, but I realy wanna make sure it looks good. What I liked about the stock film is that doesnt shine a lot. Another thing to consider is that Im in México and dont know which provider can send me the stuff.

That was NOT just armor all he used. Armor All uses Sorbitol at a 70% active rate and only 3% in formula. My though is that something was added to the mixture.
I work for AA and I know it's acidity is very low. Its 65% water and 32% silicone emulsion.

I only have 1 RA now (sold the yellow one today) and its on my showroom, I'll affect me more in sales if I did that cos I'll have to take it out of the showroom and park it on the lot until the new dashboard arrives. The interest rates on the car will go up

Besides, you'll laugh to see how incredibly easy it comes off.

uranium, so would you say AA is completely safe to use on these dashes?
MITSU: http://dragonplate.com/ecart/categories.asp?cID=12. That's for real CF. For the cheap stuff: http://www.hotbuystation.com/category/SD/SD001.htm.

AA is safe. If it wasn't Clorox wouldn't sell it. No one wants lawsuits. If you dont like the shiny stuff, we make a low gloss and a flat product too. I prefer the detailers advantage junk though.
