Default Dashboard Blistering

There is blistering on my dashboard (in front of driver) that is spreading. What can I do about it?

I wonder if it's from heat or direct sun...I have one spot on the pass side, just one, and my car was a FLA car for 8yrs...not sure if anything can be done as it's as if the plastic deformed. Knock on wood mine is tiny and hasn't gotten worse...

A few weeks after purchasing mine, I noticed it had a few little dimples in the center of the dash where I hadn't noticed from inside the car. It's noticeable from outside. My only option so far was to treat the dash with Vinylex for some UV protection.

For nearly a decade, I went away from Armor all, I guess I bought into the "non greasy" stuff from a competitor, but I have gone back to Armor all. It is weird when we stray from what we know--I always felt prior that it worked well. I use it all the time today, under the hood, and the plastic looks the same as when I bought the car used and they had detailed the under hood area....cleanest motor in the fleet....
