Anytime! Like I said, worked for me just great, I've had it in the car for almost a year and no issues. Check this link out: Fix Cloudy Plastic with Olive Oil

Now, will it spoil? Not necessarily, since we're not using 1/2 cup on the cluster, but just enough to moisturize the cluster. Also, since sun does not hit it directly, it will only act as a lubricant. Logically, do not use it to shine the dash!

a good air freshener it's a lot better than having spots on your instrument cluster for sure!

That's why a 5 dollar of plastic polish exists

I had a similar issue. It seems when I was using 303 protector some of it gotten on the Gauge Cluster.

m105 with Wool pad took it out very fast. I think any polish will do but 205 for example was too weak and required a lot of effort while 105 pretty much cleaned it in one pass. After using it you should clean it with a microfiber towel.

Sorry to bring a thread back from the dead.

But I too have found out that 303 interior car cleaner is a POS. It has something in it that leaves stains and did the same thing to my gauge cluster on my G.

Going to try the Meguiar's Plastix and stick with NextZett Cockpit Premium!
