What Do You Put On Your Dash?
I am wondering what do you all put on your dash to protect it from sun damage? I have heard that using different items such as
Armor All will cause cracks. So I am just wondering who makes the best stuff?

I use a garage. But when the car is being driven, the 303 protectant helps. As stated, the marine/aerospace stuff in the white bottle is preferred,
FWIW, the old formulation of Armor All may have contained petroleum products that damaged vinyl, but I don't think that's been true for a long time.

This will probably be silly to some but im in Arizona and wanted some extra protection from the sun... I do use the 303 protectant on my interior but I went to a local fabric wholesaler and purchased some faux leather naugahyde close in color to my interior.
I made a template dash cover and cut one out of the material... my wife sewed the front edge and I sprayed with adhesion promoter and the correct bright blue interior dye I had and it matches perfect.
