Can anyone recommend a good product for the dash and door panels that wont leave it shiny and greasy but will clean it and protect it from the sun? Thanks

 

also to add to the op's post but not to hijack it... the manual says to use a non silicone based product to protect the dash. What products can fulfill this? the armoral stuff i have does not list the active ingredients.

 

meguiar's #40 leaves a little shine, but doesn't leave it too greasy. I put it onto a microfiber then rub it around. A little bit goes a long way.

I then take the non-wet side and wipe it down a tad.

 

Aerospace 303...imo the best stuff you can get for protection and looks. Leaves matt finish, has decent cleaning properties, and no overbearing smell.

 

+1 on the Aero or the Zaino leather protectant. It can go on plastic or vinyl. It is amazing. Makes the car look brand new even after sun fading.

 

i use mequires shine dash protector, i like the shiny black look it leaves, not a greasy look, but a just shiny.

 

I use Mequires quick interior detailer for quick clean up, and I like 303 for its protection qualities. 303 stuff is also good on the tires btw, leaves nice matte finish if you prefer that look like I do.

 

aerospace 303. great product. super easy application.

 

Dashboard

Sonax Dashboard Cleaner or 1z Einszett Cockpit Premium are both Silicon-free (Silicon oil formulations are build-up type products which accelerate heat damage) interior cleaners for all vinyl / plastic parts reliably prevents electrostatic charges creating a dust repellent surface. Renews and maintains the matte and structured surface (soft-feeling effect) and leaves a pleasant fresh scent.

For Maintenace use 1z Einszett Cockpit Premium, which includes UV-B protection, alternate by using a clean damp micro fibre towel

 

+1 on Aerospace 303. Great overall product with many uses.

 

I usually take a clean microfiber and wipe down first, then use another clean one and spray some Mequires quick interior detailer on it (not too much so it doesnt get too thick in one area), rub down again, then rub down a 3rd with a clean, dry part of the microfiber. I do not know that it gets protected from the sun this way though. Hope that helps
