Dash

[Peteski]

If Armorall is not to be used on dashes, is there somethng else to protect 'em?

[greg elmassian]

you can use 303, the low sheen protectant used on airplanes, plexiglas, etc... I get mine from the local spa store, used on spa covers which disintegrate in the sun quickly.

p.s. I assume my dash in my '03 sl is plastic, not leather, even though it has stiching in it near the passenger airbag... do you know if this is true?

Thanks for the 303 tip, Greg. I'd guess you're right about yours, but don't know for sure.

Personally I wouldnt use anything except Lexol Vinylex.

Look up the 303 stuff, more of a protectant and sunscreen. The big differense is it keeps the matte dash from becoming shiny.

Apparently has the most sunscreen. Not all have any.

You will find this product at a lot of detailing websites.

I'll definately look up the 303 (and it sounds familiar), because my dash is extremely reflective, despite being dark brown. I surely need to make it more matte! And I would like to try something to protect it.

I also use it on my Audi A8L. Audi went to extreme lengths to make a matte, nonreflective dash, and once the shiny armorall hits it, it's really glary in the sun.

I've used 303 on it for 2 years, and it's the best protectant I've tried, and I've tried about 10 different ones.

Is the 303 a cleaner or a protectant?

Thanks..

[greg elmassian]

Protectant... uv and "life extender".... works well on all plastics, and does not make shiny... have used for 9 years, no cracks in any dash...
