Default Sticky Cracking Dash IS250

I have ordered Sticky Dash Fix, I’m going to try and fill all the cracks and stop the melting before it gets too bad. I will post results once my order comes in.

Geezoo! That interior looks like you, or whoever had the one on YouTube, had a pack of rabid dogs locked in there. Mine wasn't bad, but just to protect the TOP ONLY of the dash area, I used one of these. Real happy with the outcome:

The dash covers technically cause more problems if the dash is already melting. The cover will be bonded to the sticky dash and damage the material more once the cover is removed. The kit is also very affordable, product should be in soon so results will be up shortly.

I'm interested in how well it works. There seems to be conflicted views on it -- mainly people complaining about the dash with paint brush marks after applying the stuff; so it looks equally bad.

I had chunks of dash missing, deep deep scratches and sticky dash. I fixed it with 2 part epoxy and 4 different Sims paint products. If It helps others I will post how I did it if it. I’m still going back to fine tune a couple areas in the future, still need to do doors first.

New oem dash is 300USD, not worth the hassle, replace it.

I just looked at new dash very misleading. Shipping and handling alone is 271.00 before tax total will be $620 with tax.

Beautiful Work! I'm planning on using a foam applicator instead of a brush so that way I dont leave any marks or at least thats what I hope will happen.

That is low for shipping, some other places take easy 400-1000.
Local dealer offered deal 850 installed.

Sure I’ll post this weekend if I have time. I have pictures of process that I sent to my brother because this was an insane looking job. I had no idea it would work. He was in shock how bad my dash looked from photos I sent him, he’s out of state. He googled Lexus sticky dash and was could not believe a car could do this. Job is not hard, it’s a slow process. The epoxy and sanding takes the longest. The gray epoxy in photo worked the best. Take your time. The key to this job is the Sim texture spray and most of all Sim low luster clear which makes gloss seem stock. This is what I used only thing that is not in photo is the Sim low luster clear. I bought all this from 66 auto paint, one the best customer service departments I’ve ever had, nice and helpful as can be. Only product they don’t have is the Sim texture.
