Default Detail Cleaning of Inside A Bit Odd but I have been curious

In looking at the dash for instance the texture seems to be different. I was wondering if anyone knows about using armour all for instance on the dash. It seems that it might need something special. I just want to make sure that I pamper this beauty!!!

Armor All will coat just fine, but you will need to lay it on thick to get it in the texture. xScionB did it and it looks good.

I hate it also, cause the texture of the dash alone atracs dust, more less glue aka(armor all). Im ready to just pull the dash out have it sanded down smooth, and painted BOP. It would be easier to clean, plus it would look good :o

If you only dry dust your dash or use only water to clean it, it will eventually crack and fade from the sun. You don't have to saturate your entire car in Armoral, but some type of protectant is a good idea.

Armoral now sells a version called "Low-Shine" if you don't want that greasy look.

Caring for the dash and console is really pretty easy. Simply wipe them down with a damp towel every time you wash your car, and treat them with a vinyl protectant once a month. To reduce the effects of the sun's UV rays, use products like 303 Aerospace Protectant or Sonüs Total Eclipse, which contain protective UV sunscreens. These are my personal favorites because they create a nice satin finish.
