Dash Care...
Ok, I've done some searching and while I did come up with the dash being made of vinyl, I have not been able to come up with anything showing the best product to use on it. I tried some non-shine meguiars interior detailer and then went back on top of that and used some non-shine meguiars interior protectant, but it left hazy streaks. So I wiped all that off with a wet rag and now it looks spotty, and dried out sorta. Any idea what I should try? I really don't like the high gloss look. Just trying to give it the natural sheen and keep it from drying out and cracking. Thanks!

I would highly recommend the 303 Aerospace Protectant or the Optimum (OPT) Protectant Plus. Both leave behind strong UV protection and a nice relatively matte finish. The surface looks more bold but without the glossy or oily feeling. Apply a nice thin coating for best results.
If you are seeing streaks it could also be from applying the product to a warm surface or in direct sun. You definitely want to apply the products in the shade for best results. Also try using less product to see if that helps.
If you want a product that also cleans and protects the Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer is a nice versatile product. If you have any other questions please let me know!

You can also try this combo: einszett Vinyl Rubber Care and maintain with einszett Cockpit Premium.
The VRubber Care will have a satin finish and give the dash a clean and richer look. You'd do this every 3 months. You will then use the cockpit premium as an interior detail spray. It can be used to wipe off dust and fingerprints from dash, vinyl, leather, nav screen, etc. Great combo.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I have alot of info and products to digest and try now. I think my biggest mistake was not letting the dash cool off enough. I was out of direct sunlight being it was around 6-6:30 in the evening but it was probably still to hot to apply it. CL is definitely the best forum I have ever been on. Thanks again!
