What do you use on your Black Dash?
 
I noticed my Black Dash seems a little discolored, not too bad but noticeable and I want to find a product to help bring it back. So what do you all use on your Leather/Vinyl? :D

Back to Black restorer,, then apply pig spit, from Harley Davidson.. Can also be found on line. It will out last all the rest. Apply it to all your black parts-inside & out.

Looks like most are using the "303 Aerospace Protectant" just ordered some to try...

I also keep a large black bath towel doubled length wise on the dash, so it doesn't get so dang hot... and I use some sunshades when parked in the sunshine...:thumbs:

303 Aerospace Protectant is what I use on all my plastic, rubber, and non-leather interior and exterior surfaces. It really does a great job on tires, the front deflector under the bumper, and fender wells too. Just great stuff!

I agree 100%, try this stuff it really works great on all those things. I had a C5 owner ask me what I use just tonight. Had to ask me because my under hood pieces look so good.

Liquid Glass Connisure leather, vinyl and rubber conditioner. Used it on my dash and door panals 6 months ago and still looks great.

Aerospace for me to, such an awesome product.

I have a cover craft dash mat that is black that has the opening for my heads up display on my 2000 coupe. it helps protect my dash in this 100 degree heat in northern ca.

Which ones don't make the dash all glossy after using it?

303 Aerospace is great and I use it on my tires, front air dam and fender wells. For the dash and non leather interior I use water and a blue Scott shop towel.

Don't know about the others (I do use 303 on our vert top) but the Wizards is NOT greasy or glossy, smells good too, and leaves a very natural satin finish...

If you're going to use something on the dash/door panels/etc., this stuff is very good.

I did not think of this, I use it on our Boat so I will try it out.:thumbs:

Another vote for 303.

And a comment that 303 aerospace protectant is the same as 303 automotive protectant. It was hard to find around here, but the auto parts stores started carrying the automotive version. The bottle color, labeleing, and name are different, but it is the same product per the manufacturers web site FAQ's.

I also found it is quite expensive in the 16oz spray bottles, but if you are going to use quite a bit of it, the gallon jugs are available on line for about 1/3rd of the price per oz.

I only use water or diluted simple green along with a boar's hair brush to clean my interior plastics.
