Dash prep
Bought some 303 Aerospace protectant for the dash. There is Armor All currently on it. I would appreciate any recommendations as to how to prep the surface prior to application of the 303. Much thanx. :)

Re: Dash prep (radstoy)
This is what I use, and what 303 recommends-
Wipe dash (all vinyl/plastic if ya want- door panels, console, etc) with a water-damp 100% cotton terry cloth towel.
Let dry
Wipe dash with water-damp and soap (I use dawn- because I have it :D ) with a 100% terry cloth towel. Wipe off with water and a 100% cotton terry cloth towel.
Let dry
Apply 303 aerospace on a perfectly clean and dry surface for best results :) Make sure no soap is left on there because it might be ugly (white)
Hope this helps, your gonna love 303.

Re: Dash prep (Andy1983)
Here are a few pics of my Z06 interior after I used 303. I cleaned as above, then I sprayed the 303 on a 100% cotton small towel. I applied it and then let it sit for 30 mins or so. Then I reapplied 303 again waited 30 mins and then buffed it out with another 100% cotton towel. With the amount I used the gloss might be a little high on the dash. Still not as bad as the armor-all crap. If you want less gloss don't apply as much and don't let it sit as long before buffing it out.
As you can see I missed a small spot. :bb
