Here is an other dumb qoestion for you guys .
What do you use on the dash board to keep it from craking and what brand?
Dan

 

i have one of those dash caps from mazdatrix because my dash was in bad shape, but i do use those armor all wipes on everything.

 

Porsche stopped giving new car buyers a free pack of Armor All after they found that regular use of the stuff makes dashes crack much more readily IF you stop using it.

The best solution is to get a Series 3 dash. Those seem to be super durable. But... that carries a whole host of other problems.

Could be a lot worse... could have a Z-car. Dash cracking like you would not BELIEVE.

 

you could get one of those dash covers to keep it protected from the sun. remember those old cardboard sunshade that said "help please call the police" on one side, well they work great for when you have the car parked and keeps the inside of the car cool

 

i use armorall. it works well for me. i use it once every 2 weeks in the summer. just dont put on your steering wheel rim. you will not like the results.

 

black magic dash protectant

 

That is what I have been told that armorall dries out the dash pad . I am looking at replaceing my dash pad because of a small cut that some thife put there 20 years ago. The new dash pad I want to take care of.

 

Ive heard of people rubbing hair conditioner on their dash to keep it nice and moist. Could be one of those stupid tales that doesnt work. never tried it. It might smell good though

 

Armour all.

 

i believe that armor all have changed the chemicals awhile ago because of the crackin. i just use the natural lube that every man has..........

 

I was gonna say, I've never had a S3 dash give out on me...

 

meguiers vinyl protectant. Ask TA about the door panels I sold him.

 

Not what I had in mind but if that is what you use that is what you use..

 

Yes, using Armor-all will cause your plastic to become "addicted" to it.

Just re-apply it periodically and it's a non-issue.

 

Thanks guys for the info
Dan
