shine/protect dash pieces, what to use???

[Black Dragon]

I just took my dash apart today to sand down the metal support which was rusted and paint it. I noticed that my dash, even though it is mint, could use a good shine.

What do you guys use to restore shine and to give the best protection for dash/trim pieces???

Its not brown, that's rust, lol...

You could possibly start off by cleaning it real nice w/ some simple green to get all the dirt / crap off. I would Armorall it a bunch after that but I'm sure others have better methods.

same here ^^^. Just give it a good cleaning and Armorall it. I personally prefer the Natural Finish Armorall

Simple green isn't too strong that it'll damage the dash? Should I clean it with something less heavy duty?

I use plain water and a mild detergent

Mix the simple green w/ water. Don't use the concentrated stuff, you have to always mix it.

I would use like a polmolive dish soap and lots of Armorall

u can use "tuff stuff" spray on,let soak,either scrub w/towel or use a brush,then wipe dry w/a towel,then armorall ultra shine

 

[fordgasm]

palmolive is the best. palmolive water and a hard brush

soft soap, armorall, wipe it off, armorall, wipe it off

i used to be into the deep shine till i noticed it just attracts dust. now ive been using the ice (turtle wax) interior spray which is good on vinyl, leather and the dash pieces. It protects and cleans really well but it does not give it a good shine...it just look classic in my opinion.
