On my '04 TL with black interior, the dashboard is fading in small splotchy sections and it looks like it could use some reconditioning.

What does everyone else use product wise on their dash to prevent or hide this fading? Very wary of off the shelf products such as armor-all...

I've heard that 303 Aerospace Protectant is pretty good but not sure if anyone has first had experience with anything else to remove this fading, if its even possible.

 

not anything you can do to remove fading just hide it and good luck, nothing has worked that great for me even 303. I always use a sunshade though keep it from getting worse!

 

I've tried lots of products, 303, mequire, armour all, nothing. I just got a custom dash mat.

 

pics?

 

i don't think there's anything that's going to permanently bring back the dash to it's original condition. Right now you've got to protect it so it doesn't get any worse. I've had success with the 303. I believe it's uv 40 so it will help with that and it also brings out a really nice look. i use it for all rubber plastic, inside and out, on my tl

 

303 is probably your pest bet from a treatment perspective, but like others said, it's not giong to make the fading go away

 

I have had better luck with Meguiars #40 than 303 for this.

 

303 works great for me!

 

Ordered some 303 off of autogeek, but what exactly did you see difference wise between the meguiars and 303? And is Meguirs #40 available over the counter or how did you get your?

 

the problem is that it's not fading, but a chemical that is migrating to the surface causing the milky looking surface. The only way to cure it is to clean off the surface and apply some protectant.

I used the woolite solution and then followed up with plain water, then 303 aerospace protectant

 

woolite as in carpet cleaner?

 

No .. Woolite as in laundry soap for womens delicates

 

i do a 50/50 303 with water...
