Dash Dressing

Just redyed and reinstalled my dash. Used LIC red dye and prep and it came out great. Just a bit flat for my liking. Wondering if anyone can suggest some type of dressing to spark it up a bit. Not interested in getting it to look like a greasy Armoral deal or respraying with satin clear but something that can be rubbed on and would bring up the gloss a bit. Thanks for your help. Dave

Several people on the Forum have recommended using Pledge. I haven't tried it so I can't say first hand how it looks, however you could try some on your daily driver to see if it gives you the effect you are looking for.

I like 303 Aerospace Protectant as it leaves a satin gloss and protects the vinyl from UV rays. It can be used on convertible tops, seats and tires also.

I've had Great Luck With Griot's Garage Vinyl Dressing.

Cleans vinyl well and doesn't add a shine like Armorall. Used by lots of Pebble Beach winners.

I use lemon pledge on everything,even my leather couch in my house. It does not contain silicone and it cleans as you apply it. It also has a anti-dust formula. I was told that it also works great as a tire shine,but I haven't tried that yet.
