What to use on dash?

I've always used Aromorall (laugh away ha) with somewhat decent results. It does seem to collect a lot of dust and when using it on the non textured areas I have to buff it in because it leaves a lot of streaks.

What do you guys use?

I've always used Vinylx for protection but just yesterday I bought some Meguairs Supreme Shine and _really_ liked it. Here is the odd part... I'd not recommend Supreme Shine for the dash as it will reflect into the windshield but I'd recommend Natural Shine even though I've never used it... just based on how much I liked Supreme Shine. Both Vinylx and NS have good UV protectors.

I was in OReillys getting a spark plug for my sons bike and saw some Megs #40 on the shelf for 5.99. Grabbed it, but it rang up for 10.99. They gave it to me for 5.99 since they marked it wrong. ANYWAY, I've only used it once but really like it. Not greasy at all and not that fake shine. The only downside is the smell for about a day. It's not the greatest smelling interior care product but I can live that for the results.

That also makes it slippery. Not a great idea.

Thumbs up

I usually use Aerospace 303 but my detailer friend just recently gave me some stuff made by Auto Majic.It is water based,smells bad,but does a hell of a job! It is similar to 303.

303 Aerospace Protectant. Great stuff on interior plastics. Not too shiny or oily. Just right. Pretty nice on the tires too. Maybe not all that cost effective as an all-around "dressing".

I use Turtle Wax's ICE Total Interior Care and I really like it. Makes the everything stand tall and looks like I just drove off the dealer's lot. Cleans and shines up everything (not glass) without a greasy residue. I don't care for the initial smell but after it has been on a while it is pleasant.
