What do I use on the 1/2 acre of dashboard in my RX330?

It has a matt finish on it so I don't think a gloss finish is advisable due to the glare factor. I used a damp rag to get the dust and accidentally rubbed too hard and now have a buff area that I need to correct also. Any Ideas out there?

Thanks, Brian

I use Lexol's Vinylex to replenish the look on top of the dashboard, and the top vinyl trim on all 4 of the doors. It's about $8-$9 for the spray version at your local auto parts store (some hardware stores like Ace and True Value carry that too)

I use the Vinylex on my LS400 but this is a semi-gloss and a bit oily feeling. On the full acre dash on the RX330, I used 1Z Cockpit Premium, this is a matte finish. Both are in that $9 range. The1Z IMO smells nicer. Both have UV protectants.

Has anybody tried to use Meguiar's Gold Class Leather cleaner/conditioner on their dashboard? Can it be used? I know it's for conditioning leather but on the back it does not say not to use it on dashboards. Just curious.

Usually a damp microfiber is alll that is needed but about once every 6 month I use Meguiar's #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.


Leaves a nice matte finish and protects from UVA and UVB. Exactly what you want on a dash so that you don't have a lot of glare.

I've tried Vinylex and thought it was a bit too shiny. I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. Its UV protection is unsurpassed.

I too use the 303 Aerospace protectant on all my cars including the one I enter in car shows. IMHO it is perfect. Not too glossy to cauase glare, but enough to be able to tell you have some sort of protectant on the dash. By the way, I use it on my RX330 as well

303 leaves a nice satin finish. The UV protection is like SPF 40. 303 also looks great on tires. I just wish the stuff was cheaper.
