Imprint on dashboard???

yep, I am now seeing that too, it's the airbag imprint, I think cleaning and conditioning would "hide" it but I guess as the dash age it's starting to show.

You have to maintain your dash or it just comes back.
My theory: The vinyl onthe dash dries/shrinks a bit due to general environmental conditions - especially direct exposure to sunlight and/or UV. This exposes the air bag outline.
The conditioners replace some of the "oils" and fill the space, allowing the vinyl to expand or swell a little. This hides the air bag outline.
Cycle repeats, ad nauseum.
IOW - NOTHING is a "one and done" solution.

It's sold at boating supply stores, such as West Marine. That's where I get mine. Awesome stuff on all your rubber, vinyl and plastic parts. Just don't use it on clear plastic, as it may marr it.

Holy moe, I have the same outline on my 07.......didn't notice it until a couple years ago...so it's the airbag outline, that's unvelievable...anyway, I use Lexol vinyl protectant on the dash and it hides it for a while. Only can see it in certain lighting conditions, however. Wonder how many others have this issue?

When I had gotten my '07 TL-S, the outline was really bad. I just applied my first session a couple of days ago and it seems to help. I plan to keep doing this every quarter until I no longer see the outline.
