Default you want a shiny dash??

I've used 303 Aerospace cleaner to keep the dash looking new (and matte).

Default You want shiny? Vinylex will give you shiny. Three coats of it will really shine.

But I wouldn't recommend it. Personally I don't like a shiny dash. Common wisdom is to stay away from Armor All.

Default Avoid the Armour All- - ->

That greasy kid stuff will attract dust and ultimatly contribute to the dash cracking..

Try Harley PolyGuard.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/detail/msgs/13052.phtml">Harley PolyGuard</a></li></ul>

Vinylex will be shiny, 303 Aerospace is less greasy and nicer for the interior.

Shiny is bad = oil on the dash. Sun hits dash, heats up oil, cracks/discolors dash.
