Default Dash shine
Gents, Followed your advice with regard to Maguires Spray & shine.. great. Helped out quite a bit.

Now what should I use for the dash?
Thanks,
CPO Rob

A little mild soap and water on a microfiber towel. Or you can spend loads of money on other products.

303 does claim UV protection.

After I wash my car I wipe down the interior with the towel I used to dry it. Interior looks brand new. No chemicals. Nothing.

Shiny dash is dangerous - ask any F-body owner, past or present. lol

I don't want a shiny interior, not sure why peiple like the greasy look. I wipe with 303 protectant and nothing else. Keeps the dust off, leaves a nice factory satin sheen, and as noted before UV protection.

I like the Turtle Wax ICE for plastics, even good on shiny or dull plastic. It is not shiny or greasy.

Congratulations.
Must have been one helluva honeymoon if you started the motel on fire.

i like the 303 protectant effect and the UV benefit. It seems to last a while too.

A damp (with water) micro fiber towel is all I've ever used on my interiors. Shinny and greasy looks tacky and eventually leads to a sticky mess.
