Default Interior Detailing

I foolishly cleaned the interior trim yesterday with Auto Glym 'Vinyl & Rubber Care'.

Unfortunately this has left a shiny finish (2nd hand car dealer style) which I don't like.

Are there any products available which remove this shiny coating and restore the trim to the original matt finish ?

Thanks for help.

I use a pack of Armour All MATTE dashboard wipes. easily available for a couple of quid at you local Halfords.

As above, a warm soapy sponge will help get rid of the shinny crap you've put on.

for what it's worth - you can use the AG stuff in two ways - RTFM

It clearly says on the back how to get a shiny finish, and how to get a matt

I use that and Megs interior QD.
