bulwinkl24 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 What's the best product to use on the new non-glare dash boards? I tried using ArmorAll but it made the dash a little too shiny for my liking. I'm tempted to try the vinyl protectant that Lexus sells but I wanted to see if anybody had any suggestions before I do that. Thanks in advance.

SW03ES Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 In my experience the two products that leave the least shine on matte dashboards are: Poorboys Natural Look http://pakshak.com/poorboys-natural-look-16oz.html 1Z Teinfenfpleger http://pakshak.com/1z-vinyl-rubber-care-500ml.html Wipe them in, let them soak in for 10 min or so, then wipe down with a damp towel, then buff dry.

LI LEX Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I recommend Vinylex protectant. It's made by the same manufacturer that produces Lexol. It contains a UV sunscreen which is essential for dashboard applications IMO. You may find it here: http://www.lexol.com/vinindex.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Vinylex is still way too shiny for my taste. Both Poorboys NL and 1Z Teinfenpfleger have UV protectants in them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoho223 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I suggest you purchase a "Dashmat" for your car and not put the chemicals into the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 A dashmat? UG-ly. Why not use protective chemical products designed for this application? As for 303, I like 303 but its still a little too shiny for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmshoot Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Whatever happened to the Armorall product that was called "Low Shine" or "Low Sheen" or something like that. Came in a black spray bottle. I loved it for my interiors, and had a scent that reminded me of a fine cigar. Can't find it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardona6569 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I would suggest a Turtle Wax product, or when you apply the others mentioned do not apply it directly to the board just to an applicator which will not leave as much shine. C. PR I suggest you purchase a "Dashmat" for your car and not put the chemicals into the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I don't like my dashboard all shiny either, but I just use a small amount of Armor All, and wipe it on the dash, and usually it isn't shiny. Just make sure you've equally applied it to all areas. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 One good way to make sure the application is even and to dull the shine is to wipe the dash down well with a damp cloth after applying the protectant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Lyon Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 There's a great product you all can apply to dashboards and even leather for PERMANENT PROTECTION is not oily, permanently protects against uv and dirt will never stick to surfaces. The only thing is, is too shiny, but it's PERMANENT and all you have to do is wipe it off. It's called Trydon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgethead84 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I use SONAX Dashboard Cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppine Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Dash boards are expensive to replace. I live at 5,000 feet Nevada so I use a cover. Then there is no glare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipiva Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Possibly matte plastic or wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
