Default Dressing Trim

[B] What do you use to dress the vinyl on a C-6 dash and doors, the black part. Everything I have tried, streaks. I have tried Back to Black, Armorall, Lexol, and am not happy with any of these.

I've tried this and it still streaks and turns white. It's worse on the drivers side door.

Make sure you buff it till it is dry.

I use it on my black dash and doors without the issues you describe.

I think you are leaving too much on the surface.

I've tried all methods. If I buff it too much then the white comes back.
I get best results(far from perfect) with spraying it on a cloth and wiping the panel, then using a dry towel/rag to wipe most of it off. If I buff too much then the white comes back worse then ever.

Einszett Cockpit Premium...It doesn't leave streaks and is a dull/matte finish so it doesn't create glare into the windshield...You can also use it on your nav screen too...I do like Aerospace too, but you have to wipe it clear off....

Aerospace 303 has done miracles for me, including bringing back a black vinyl dash that had started to turn chalky gray where the sun had damaged it. Perfect black now.

I didn't know that you could put on to much. It is expensive, however.
