USA Cleaners for Dash????

The dash on the 07 Tundra feels rubbery. I spot tested Armor All and saw that is made the dash darker and made it streak where the concentrate landed.

Anyone have suggestions on cleaners and protectors for the dash?

303 is what you should use. There are some people reporting problems with using ArmorAll (the paint is coming off the dash and leaving the grey basecoat). Just FYI...I use a wet microfiber cloth to wipe things down...ArmorAll makes things too shiney, well on the inside where I don't want it to be.

I took it a step better. I installed a dash matt. That way I don't have to wipe it down.

I use McGuires High Tech protectant. I use onlt a little bit on a soft cloth. A little goes a long way. It looks great!

I was also using Armor-all. That didn't leave a real good finish, as a matter of fact it did look like it was wearing the paint off!! I have tried 303 Protectant and it looks great. Thank you for that suggestion. It was hard to find but I tracked it down to my local baoting store. It apparently is used extensively on boats. Canvas, hull materials etc...It works realy, really good on the tundra dash finish. It protects and doesn't leave it too shiny. I noticed a white powderdy residue even before I used the armorall. The 303 takes care of it and doesn't wipe off easily. I am sold!!

I use Lexol Vinylex. It doesn't have the shine and doesn't leave a residue.
