RachelnLa Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Any recommendations for keeping that dash as pretty as when it comes from the dealer? I really need to wash my baby today and get her all spiffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colea Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm a fan of Prima car care products, which I've used on another car. I've used their Prima Nero (under the Vinyl and Rubber category) on my dash; more of a matte finish, rather than gloss. http://stores.shopprimacarcare.com/StoreFront.bok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Maxgo Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've always used water on the interior like the dash and doors. I've always been happy with it but I'm curious to hear how you guys like other products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find them anywhere, and they really work for less $$ than the premium products. +1 on the Meguiar's Quick Interior Detailer Cleaner, and for touchups between washes the Ultimate Quick Detailer is great on the exterior. I also really like the Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax after washing. I've tried several different products, and Megs Ult Quick Wax was the best. If you want some great sunscreen, and doesn't dry out plasticizers, protect any plastic/vinyl/leather with Aerospace 303 Protectant, though it has almost no cleaning properties, so only apply it to clean surfaces or you'll just smear the dirt around or cover it up.

Laurel Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 That is a nice combo of good natured and smart breeds. I have often thought of getting a DNA test for our Tinker. She is an unknown and people guess pom with corgi, pom with cocker, pom with chihuahua etc. We have friends who train horses in the Cariboo with working Border Collies and they cannot do their ranching without those two dogs--they are brilliant. We are in yuppie suburbia here and the labradoodle has taken over the world here. Nice dogs but they are the designer dog of the day around here--along with West Highland Terriers. We always go for the rescue dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Our best dogs have been the ones that found us. Pookie was a rescue after the hurricane. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoBro2 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I guess I'm a Basset Hound kind of guy. Her name happens to be Jelly, which work out well with the jellybean shaped C-Max she rides in. I adopted her from a rescue group a few years ago. Before Jelly, I had a rough-coated lurcher named Chrissie Hound who was also a rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowbar Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Conan makes a good co-pilot, or is that navigator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Maxgo Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Most of the time he's a co-pilot unless the navigation doesn't understand me. The he's the navigator ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to make sure on our last Ford at the car wash to TELL them to NOT treat the dash, caused a terrible glare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
