Isn't the dash supposed to somewhat of a dull color? I live in So Cal and don't want it to crack in the hot weather.

Default Yes. (as posted below) I use Aerospace 303 protectant (more)
It's on of the better ones to use on your dash, since it's water based and just designed to protect; It's not like Armor All and those other "protectants" that use silicone and other things that actually harm vinyl and rubber.

It doesn't leave a high gloss finish; Depending on how much you wipe off, it'll vary from flat to low-gloss in appearance.

Check out the detailing forum on here for more advice

Default Ditto, but i usually don't use much on the dash.
But i also use the 303 on my tires, and exterior rubber trim. Last the longest without all that silicone. It's meant for extreme conditions like boats sitting out in the blazing sun and other elements all day.

That's true; I used it like once in the middle of the summer and forgot to do it again

Well actually, a '97(?) A4 loaner a while back had a horrible curling/shrinking dash

I got it from <A HREF="http://www.properautocare.com">http://www.properautocare.com</A>, but there's a number of retailers. I like their store though.
