Protecting dash

BII · Mar 22nd, 2005, 10:25 PM

Hey guys -

I bought this S13 and the dash is not cracked, andd I want to keep it that way. Any tips? I don't want to put one on one of those stupid dash covers if I can avoid it.

use a vinyl restorer type of product and then use a uv blocking product.

DONT USE ARMERALL

good stuff, just get the 32oz, the one gallon is wayyyyyyyyyy to expencive but it has a good description

if you are serious i can tell you the correct way to apply it to give the best protection and shine... it is not oily like armorall, gives a very muted clean look to your dash without being greasy...

VINYLEX contains a unique patented composition of silicone and organo-functional silicone specifically designed to provide the desired performance and appearance along with special emulsifiers that cause the formula to break on application. This release (break) on application contributes to the performance of the composition and facilitates the proper distribution of VINYLEX ingredients.

i thought silicone was bad? other than that, sounds like great stuff.

Meguiars works well without all of the grease, however, it does not last very long although it is called Endurance.

Is it easy to apply? If it doesn't last long its OK, I don't mind reapplying as long as its not too hard to do.

Just as easy as any other brand. Simply apply. It isnt much of a cleaner though.
