I did a 3 step process... First I used mothers aluminum polish. Only on the spots. Armor all gets pretty deep so you really need to rub it in pretty hard.
Then I used 3m rubbing compound for paint. I cant remember which one though...
Finally I followed up with meguiars clear plastic polish.
Came out great!

I use a rubbing compound from3-m. They have differenet"(grades) for doing paint finishes on cars.Head down to a body shop suple place and see if they can give you a small sample.

Listen to Aaron. That shit looked like BRAND NEW when he was done. I will vouch for the bad armor job done to it. Hard to believe it could look like that again.

What I did was just sit down on the couch with it in my lap, watch tv and polish out the super cloudy areas.
It really took some pressure but I didnt want to crack the plastic.

I got kinda interesting when my wife yelled "what the hell are you doing?" after she saw me sitting on the couch moving my hand back and forth pretty fast.

I guess having a rag on my shoulder, the window open, and a bottle of something right beside me, made for a pretty interesting sight from behind.

"Really honey I'm just polishing something..."
