Default Dashboard dressing

I have a CE and with the light dashboard the glare was really annoying. Seemed the dealer must have sprayed it with Armor All or some such. I got some great advise on the General forum to clean it with Dawn and get some polarized sunnys and that worked great. Now I need something to use as a dressing on the dash that will not attract dirt or cause glare.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Griots has a nice vinyl dressing that is not super high gloss, a little costly but nive stuff.

I like Lexol's Vinylex. It leaves a "Satin" shine....if you'd like it a bit 'flatter' simply pat the dash down with a rag and it'll tone down the gloss. :cheers:

303 is a good dressing, but be careful as the c5 vinyl is not the best and can "blotch" is spots.

I use Pinnacle on my CE. No glare at all.

I agree with you Sixgun95--Pinnacle makes the dash look superb, and gives it the necessary UV protection to keep it looking good. :yesnod:

Thanks for the info. Any idea what retailer carries Pinnacle? Not at Autobarn or Pepboys here in NY.
