Protecting the Dashboard

[ArcherDriver]

Please don't tell me Harmer All. Is there something like 808 or 303, something with a number for a name that is supposed to be a very good sun repellant?

I've heard that as well from several sources. I've not yet used it.

Totally, 303 - for plastic and rubber works great!

This is my go to for vinyl / plastic interior components. I have used 303 products for many decades now, always happy with them.

If you really want to "protect" your dashboard, forget all of that worthless, spray on crap. Get yourself one of these. You almost have to hunt for a vehicle around here that doesn't have one.

303 makes the dash a bit shiny which results in more noticeable reflections in the windshield. I use a windshield sunshade when I park in the sun. Direct sunlight and heat deteriorate the dashboard covering more than anything over time.

I'll never own another car without one.

Besides, dashboards generally don't crack like they used to. So there's no need for those messy sprays etc.

303 and Adams car care products are top notch. They are in Thornton CO. And have grown and improved their product line.

You want total care? Get a foldable windshield sunshade car visor. Guaranteed protection against cracking your car's dashboard from the sun.

I always used a turtle wax interior protectant since the 90s. The product has went through a number of name changes through the years, so I don't know if the stuff inside the bottle is the same. But the label should have a uv protectant. Never had a dash crack on me using this stuff, and I drive old junk.

Get a Dashcover from CoverCraft...

The "Dash Topper" are very good (I have owned several), but their best product is: https://www.dashdesigns.com/ , made by the same company.

I carry a barely yellow bath towel on the back seat. I spread it over the dash whenever I park my car in the sun.

Covercraft dash cover.

 

[OLEJOE]

Covercraft dash cover.

That’s what I use also. Helps cut down on the reflection in the windshield too.

I use heat shield.
