Subscribed. Post some before and after pics. Are you going to do your corners or the diffuser?

Cheaper at Walmart. I use it on the inner wheel wells, the cowl up by the windshield, the tires, the black plastics under the hood, but not on the dash or weather stripping. If you apply it on the trim watch the paint. It will stain the paint. I also use it on my Jeep Grand on all the body side moldings and front and rear bumpers. It restores the faded out whitish look and makes it look like new.

I love the stuff.

Do you think it's a good idea to use it on the dash?

I have used it on my cowl (mine is really dried out, with a hazy white finish). Makes it very black and lustrous. Lasts for a few weeks..

I've used Back to Black for a few years and it"s great, I even used it on my green plastic mail box which had faded.

I wouldn't use it on a dash unless it was super faded. I use a clear product called Black Magic for the dash and weather stripping.
