Us this if you go the protectant route. Leaves a nice "like new" matte finish. Not at all greasy and doesn't attract dust. It won't work miracles though so a sunshade is a must - like others have said.

Inferno Orange- 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS L99
Well I plan on my garage being my ultimate ally this time around. I'm not taking the car to work to keep the miles and dirt off of it. So, it should be out of the sun most of the time. I will definitely be taking everyone's advice on the days it's outside though.

Tinted windows will also help keep the inside cooler and may help prolong the plastic parts.

Totally agree... except that almost anything other than factory tint is illegal in our state.

I've always had dark windows...just something I prefer to have. My truck is 5% and my car is 10% because it's black which makes them look even darker for some reason.

I always used ArmorAll on the dashs of my other Firebirds ('74, '79, '86 and '91) so I automaticly used it on my '02. So now I found out ArmorAll is harmful to the plastic.
So the question I have is, how do I remove the ArmorAll I applied so I can apply the correct UV protectant?

Pewter- 2002 Trans Am WS6 M6
Bought a new dash last year and they are up to 400 now. I'll deal with a lethal interiors dash mat to save it from cracking all over again. Plus with the custom emblem on it it is slightly more appealing.

2002 Z28 A4 NBM- Sadly now demodded :(
I moved to Phoenix in Sept 2003 and lived there until I moved to San Diego in June 2012. I had (still have) a Dashmat on the 02 and I kept the sun shades in the T-tops all the time (even though the T-tops are tinted leaving the shades in kept it cooler to me).
End result is the dash still looks new and the rest of the interior is showing just normal wear and tear for a 62,xxx mile car (which is to say not much except some minor cracks in the drivers side leather seat).67 Camaro: K-K + 797-z (look it up), 454/Th400/4.10 12-bolt = 6mpg, PS/PDB/PW tilt, tach, gauges...
2005 Corvette LS2/M6 Magnetic Red Metallic (What else would it be?) w/ Cashmere interior
2002 Z28: NBM/Tan, MTI smooth lid, smooth bellows, !AIR, !cats, 1-3/4" QTP SS LT's, 2-1/2" TD's with X-pipe, MagnaFlows dumped at axle, custom welded SFC's, MidWest Chassis body mount adjustable T/A, 3400 stall, 3.23 gears (was 2.73). Tuned: 343rwhp/357rwt (before TD's). Best: 12.559 @ 108+, 1.73 60' @ 3500' DA w/MT ET Street DR's.

Some products to keep the dash board protected is good, try ware based products.
Don't over do it less is more.
The most important thing here, though...is common sense and take the right steps tp protect your dash board:
-Tinted windws keep UV Rays away, This is a must
-Windshield heat reflector sunshades
-Be aware where you park. Pick good shaded spots
-Dash mats are a necessary evil. A cracked dashboard sucks!
and like it was already mentioned, you can always remove it.

I've never been a fan of putting anything on dashboards, unless I see it can use a little revive, or refresh. I just keep them clean, I use a damped towel and that's it in most cases.
I rather use products that are designed to clean as opposed to "condition"
The majority of cleaners will leave a thin coat of protection.
My favorite is the 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Plastic Cleaner and/or 1Z Einszett Plastic Vinyl Deep Cleaner.
Those are by far the best products for those who want it easy and fast.
No high, or shiny spots to worry about.Last edited by Z06-Goose; 04-05-2015 at 09:21 PM.
