Unhappy Armor-All removal

I had a nice Husky one piece floor mat in my F-350. Someone (who shall remane nameless) "cleaned it with Armor-All". I jumped into the driver side and as soon as my feet hit the mat, I almost went out the passenger side.
How do I get the stuff off? I tried M1 remover without much success.

Do not use armor all on leather. It does not condtion the leather and will clogg the pores so a good conditioner cannot penetrate. If you want to clean or condition leather there is a product out there called Lexol. They have a cleaner and a conditioner. It will not leave a greasy film.

Don't use armorall period!! After time it will crack your dash, and dry out everything sooo bad. I use wax-shops LRV(leather, rubber vinyl) and it doesn't leave a greasy film, has decent shine(not too bright, not too dull) and smells better too. I like it better than Lexol.

I found Windex to take off armor-all quite well.
