Upper Dashpad Treatment
What is the best way to clean and treat the upper dash pad on a 2012 Camaro? I noticed its starting to look faded and blotchy in some areas. I have heard bad things about Armor All. I use a product from Chemical Guys VRP on the tires but have not yet tried it on interior pieces. I love the VRP for the tires.
What products have others used on dash pads that are not too greasy? I prefer a factory look, not shiny. |

If you have faded places this is likely "bleaching", caused by UV rays from the sun.
There isn't any product that will remove this. The VRP is fine on the interior. You'll want to clean the areas you apply it to first. The best product I've used for cleaning is Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel for normal cleaning. For protection, Carpro Perl and Ultima Interior Guard are both very good. Neither leave a shiny look, but Perl is darker. https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=419753

Thoroughly clean the area with Adam's Leather & Interior Cleaner
https://adamspolishes.com/products/a...terior-cleaner Then follow up with either his Leather Conditioner for a satin sheen https://adamspolishes.com/products/a...or-conditioner or Adam's Leather & Interior Dressing for a nice matte finish https://adamspolishes.com/products/a...erior-dressing I'll maintain weekly with a quick wipe down with one of his many different scented Interior Detailers. https://adamspolishes.com/products/a...erior-detailer

Thanks, and that's with it being a 120,000 mile daily driver. Use the right products correctly and that's what you'll get!
