What is the proper cleaning agent used on 2004 TL dashboard?? Black dash seems to change to grey from hot sun. Suggetions??? Thanks...

 

There are a lot. Serach and you can find a ton of solutions, personally I use Vinlyex and it works great. Many people from what I have read love hte 303 product.

 

Clean it with some soapy water on a rag, and wipe down again with a wet towel (without soap). After it dries, apply 303 Aerospace Protectant liberally on the surface. It'll keep it looking very nice.

 

Vinylex! And use one of those Kuhlshades thingies you put on the dash. May look dorky but who cares...it does the job of protecting the dash from the sun. They sell them at everywhere, even at costco/price club.

 

^^ right what Lore said. I use woolite and water. 1:6 part to clean first. Then dry towel and then 303.

 

Use 303 Aerospace

 

Another vote for 303. Made my black dash look nice again.

 

Don't you guys find 303 leaves a greasy film on everything ? I bought a bottle based on recomends from this board and had high hopes for it. It was NOT cheap. A search of 303s web site showed me that it was available at Lordco in Vancouver so off I went. $20 later I had a bottle. More than tripple the price of Armorall.

Initially I thought it looked better but after closer looks the flat black dash on the TL seems to be more gloss black and quite greasey after application.

I am applying liberally rubbing in and wiping off. Is it possible I am doing something wrong ?

 

It'll make the dash look more greasy than if you hadn't put it on. However, give it a day or two and you'll see it wear off - but still keep the dash looking clean. Think of it as sunscreen for your dash instead of for your body. It'll make it look moisturized and smooth but still have a little residue.

 

Does the Vinylex give the same appearance/residue?

 

I use Vinylex! Its the BOMB!

 

Can some of you post some pics so others can compare the different between the two products?



I don't like the greasy wet look, but would like it to look a bit darker and moisturized so it doesn't fade and crack.
