I use viynlex, or something spelled close to that, same people that make lexol. I like it personally because it claims to protect but doesnt leave that high gloss look. I have used it for years on all three cars w/o any problems.

RE: dash care products

I use Meguiars interior/vinyl cleaner and it does a really great job renewing my interior. It's not very glossy, but it does get to me once a while driving under harsh sunny days in CA.

Lexol makes great leather products, I wouldn't be surprise if their vinyl cleaner is just as good too.

god i heard the reason why a long time ago, and my memory is not what it used to be [B)] but if i recall it was something about it being silicon based and the uv protection not being up to snuff. If I remember correctly it actually in the long run the dash crack sooner than w/o it.

The stuff i use is Vinylex, sometimes a bit of a challenge to find, but usually pep boys has it. Im sure the stuff that Zaino makes is good as well.

RE: dash care products

You should not use products with silicone in them on the dash. They can create long term problems with cracking and in the short term overspray on the clear plastic will cause permanent marking.

I use Griot's Garage products.

Thats good enough reason for me thanks guys [:)]! I'd rather be safe than sorry so I think I will give Vinylex a shot !
