View Full Version : Dash Cover? RX-Nut 11-23-2003, 04:15 AM Anyone here considering or already have one of those car dash covers? Are they available?? Basically I want to prevent my dash from cracking in the future due to the sun, ,heat. etc. Anyone else worried about this? What do you do? RX-Nut 11-23-2003, 04:18 PM Anyone care about their dash cracking? shameless bump attempt mikeb 11-23-2003, 05:53 PM I care but I dont like dash covers IMO RX-Nut 11-23-2003, 05:59 PM me neither... Do you use some sort of protectant on the dash? heaven forbid, Armor All? mikeb 11-23-2003, 07:14 PM I stopped using armol all I clean the car weekly with a product on the dash called 2001 pretectant or meiguars dask protectant is good seikx8 11-23-2003, 07:46 PM I don't like dash cover either but I do use Amor All sometime. I figure, by the time the dash happened to crack I would probably find myself in a new ride ;) Tamas 11-24-2003, 08:17 PM I don't think that my dash would crack - in my 9 1/2 years old Probe, the dash is in absolutely perfect condition, no cracking whatsoever and I live in California. However, my car is always garaged when at home so that probably does make a difference. Dash covers are ugly IMO. RX-Nut 11-24-2003, 08:20 PM Hmm.. Tamas, did you use some sort of protectant on the dash, or was it untreated for 9.5 years? I'm curious.. I dont want a dash cover but I live in Hawaii where the sun rules. So what should I do.. :) Tamas 11-25-2003, 12:09 PM No specific protectant was used. The car was very well taken care of, but apart from regular cleaning, I didn't do anything special with the dash. I really think that the fact the car was not baked all the time when parked must have made a difference though. oosik 11-26-2003, 11:45 AM I use this on all my interior, UV protection: http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=protectant RX-Nut 11-26-2003, 11:59 AM Hmm.. looks interesting.. any others out there? MadMAX 11-26-2003, 10:52 PM The only real protection is to keep the car garaged. Having said that, my car is out in the sun all day while I am at work... In Brisbane Australia. I have never had a problem with the dash cracking on any of my cars. Just clean them regularly... no armourall or protectant at all.

It's a pain but atleast the ext/int interior will not fade. |
