What dashboard products do you use?

Yes, the same old question about the cracked dash. I was wondering what you guys are using to clean/protect your dashes. Is there such a thing that will moisturise the vinyl and actually keep it from drying out and cracking??

I always use a sunscreen in the front window when parked outside. You know those reflective silver ones. Or maybe those corrugated cardboard ones from the '80s with a neon sunglasses graphic. The only sun the dash gets is when driving. I refuse to stoop to the 'dash carpet' though

Hi Jeremy,

I use Vinylx. Your second question is a good one.

I use 303 on all my trim, Good stuff and not too shiny.
Also gives UV protection.
