dressing your dash ... what are you using?
I'm looking for some dressing for my interior. Currently I have wolfgang and pinaccle products. They seem to dry to a matte (spelling?) or dull finish. I seem to like a semi gloss on my dash.
( I HATE dust on my dash and the semi-gloss seems to keep me very aware of the dust ) what products do you guys use that will give my dash and semi-gloss look? thanks |

I've been using these three; they're extremely effective.
1- 303 Aerospace ( at any ACE hardware store) 2- Mothers Back to Black ( it makes no difference whether the dash is black or not) 3- Lexol Vinylex However, I like the 303 look better; it leaves a natural look to your interior. The only problem is that it's not a good leather cleaner, but it protects your leather. Now, lexol comes in three forms: Vinylex, Lexol Leather cleaner, and Lexol Leather Conditioner. Lexol Vinylex is another good one for your dash. I haven't used the lexol leather cleaner yet, but the Lexol leather conditioner is one of the best products I've ever tried in my leather. |

I like Griot's Garage stuff myself. I would use their Interior Cleaner first to get rid of any traces of old product and then use the Vinyl & Rubber Dressing to dress it. It's silicone-free, and it dosen't have any petroleum distillates, waxes, or solvents in it. It leaves a nice semi-gloss finish and it makes for a kickass tire shine too. I also like to use it on the rubber window channel moldings on some of the newer cars I detail, as well as the urethane bumpers on my MGs.

Just got a Meguiar's set of car products for a gift and used the leather cleaner/conditioner wipes. It left the dashboard a little glossy (I'm not personally a big fan of that) but after wiping off the excess with microfiber, it looks better.
