Have since armour all'd the car which only hid the problem for a couple of weeks.Can anyone help me with a solution??

Weird thing is, in some places you can scratch it with your fingernail and the top coat comes off. but no amount of wiping with products removes it.

I was going to order one, I thought it might help reduce the damage from UV and the Sun in summer... 1

Dash mats be damned!
