Dealing with a shiny dash

***waynne*** · 24-10-2008, 11:54 AM

How do you deal with a shiny dash? I think we've probably all been here.

You buy a new car with a highly polished dash, you go mad with the silicone spray for the first and only time in your life or you get the car back from a valet and someone has buffed up the dash.

Washing it down with jif cleaner on a cloth works for me but it leaves a bit of residue.

Thankfully my Audi dash is a textured matt finish so it is not really a problem but every other car I've had suffered from a bright dash.8)

Never had a shiny dash before! In the Civic it's a material that just doesn't want to shine!

mines always dusty, can never be bothered to put the wipe over it every day.

use baby oil, i do and it brings up the whole interior

now i like having a shiny dash, but i also know what a lot of people hate about it,
its the reflection you get on the windscreen on a sunny day

now i have used baby wipes on my dash, and believe it or not, theres no shine when it dries
so if ye guys who hate shinny dashboards want to give that a try

well, use baby oil

put some on a small sponge and wipe all around
tip; get some baby oil with aloe vera in it, that will give the car a nice fragrence

you learn something new everyday

i use this on everything, door cards, dash, centre console, even the sills on the door frame
il tell you man, it works
