Corvette C6 dash, best product to use?
Do not use Armour all on the dash! Shine will blind you.
What products work best to keep dash from sun shine glare, yet provide conditioning against drying out...
Have been using lexol (I know it is designed for leather) but it seems to work. What to use or just leave it alone?....

trying NXT right now... haven't put it on yet... tomorrow/today... hehe... will let you know. Many on the forum use it. McGuires makes it. I'm a Zaino guy all the way but not for the dash. Everything else is Zaino, leather seats etc. not the dash though... you need a good vinyl product and I hear this does a good job.

I actually used my Meguier's leather cleaner/conditioner and it did a great job. Someone else said that there's some Atmosphere 303 product or something like that that Autogeek.net sells that works wonders. I have some on order and just waiting for it to get in to try it.

303 Aerospace Protectant works very well on my '99 Riviera Dash-gives a low lustre type shine to it; and did use on my dash and door panels on my 2005 C6 vert and found it to work very well also. Haven't had to use it yet on my C6 '08 vert yet since I picked it up in Nov. of 2007.

Me too, I've been using Lexol (brown bottle) for the dash and panels to remove the white stuff that tend to stick all over the interior. It works for me, and its not shiny or oily.

ArmorAll NATURAL FINISH
I've used a bunch of different things for the dash and door panels but I like ArmorAll NATURAL FINISH Detailer/Protectant, that produces an EVEN non-greasy, no glare, matte finish. Stays looking detailed for at least a week. Scuffs and rubs on the door panel by the arm rests come right off with a new application. The Natural Finish ArmorAll is not expensive and is available at Target or most other major retailers.
Detailed the interioir yesterday and here's a pix:

Meguiers looks great and you can use it all over the interior and under the hood as well.

If you try 303, and buff it out once, you'll be very happy with the results. Originally made for aircraft interiors that sit outside in the sun a lot. Most small airport operators have it for sale also.

Aerospace Protectant 303...got mine at Autogeek.com It blocks harmful sun rays with an SPF of 40. Doesn't make things greasy, shiney...and they claim it repels dust. I like it over anything else I've tried over the years. I like the way it makes the dark plastics on the dash panel take on a deeper color and more expensive look. The black door panels don't show scuff marks like they used to, and it gives the dash a richer and deeper color as well. Overall, I'm impressed with it!

I use a soft damp cloth to keep mine clean. I wipe down the interior every time I wash the car. It only takes a minute or two to keep up with it. Although I don't use their products on the body, I do like the Zaino products for the seats.
I really hate the shiney greasey look of most interior products. Luckily, my car doesn't sit out in the sun all that much. It is parked in my garage if I'm not driving it, so I can get away without much need for a UV protectant on the dash, door panels, and other hard surfaces of the interior.
