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?

 

Anyone care about their dash cracking?



shameless bump attempt

 

I care
but I dont like dash covers IMO

 

me neither... Do you use some sort of protectant on the dash? heaven forbid, Armor All?

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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..

 

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.

 

I use this on all my interior, UV protection:

Hmm.. looks interesting.. any others out there?

 

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.

 

I bought a car cover & sun shield from trussville. I cover my car at work everyday. It's a pain but atleast the ext/int interior will not fade.
