Vinyl Dash Question

What are you guys using on your dash to protect the apperance? What is the best stuff that will not get sticky or stay grease? Is Meguiar's GOLD CLASS PROTECTANT WIPES any good? Thanks for your time!

I'm currently using Griot's Vinyl and Rubber dressing. It seems to last forever and doesn't make your dash overly shiny. Best stuff I've ever used--

I'm sure there's a number of options/opinions, but I swear by the Meguiars Gold Class line. Good stuff.

I use this stuff from AutoGeek. Nice flat matt finish and no glare.

Also use it on my hot tub cover and it still looks great. It's been outside for 4 years.

I swear by Meguiar Gol Class also but am not please with the glare it creates..... Does the 303 product not produce a glare and remain matte flat?

Poorboys from Autogeek. Just the right amount of shine. Not sure if it has the same UV protection as 303.

Well, my dad would use Armor All on his old big block vette, and use enough of it that it was dripping down the dash...yikes. I like Meguiers Supreme Shine Protectant, its glossy and not as greasy as Armor All.
