Best product for the dash?
« on: 04 June 2009, 09:09 »
The dash in the ED30 needs something to give it some zing!! Anybody know whats best? Always find the dash the toughest to clean...with some products just leaving it looking dull and still dusty. Thanks. :rolleyes:

Depends if you want it to be shiny or just dust free and clean.

I personally don't like it shiny, so tend to use AG fast glass to remove any marks, then a microfibre cloth to dust afterwards.

Hmmm..you've got me thinking now...I do like it kinda shiny with a nice lustre. I want it looking black rather than a dull sort of grey?!

solve the problem forever by flocking it.  Looks better, doesn't blind you when it's sunny and all you have to do is gently brush it to make it look new.

I use Autoglym Vinyl & Plastic spray if I want a higher gloss, or aerospace 303 Protectant if I want it more matt looking.

When I want mine shiney I use ArmorAll. Wipe on, wipe off. You just get some of the liquid running in the crevices if you're not quick enough.
