yeah think you can get a U.V protective gloss or matt spray to protect against fading,

already faded? try back to black?? works well on bumpers!

I would reccomend Auto Glym bumper care, as it works a treat on interiors, it comes out as a green gel, test a small area first and see what you think.

Try and avoid products that give a 'shiny'/gloss effect because that just makes the dashboard look horrible and the majority of these products contain silicone that can make the windscreen look a right mess if that particular silicone containing product is accidently sprayed onto the glass. Have you ever saw that 'rainbow' effect you see on a lot of police car windscreens? Thats completely down to the silicone.

If possible, try and use a semi matt product that brings out the natural colour and keep its looking 'natural' if you know what I mean.

Only use 'shiny' dashboard products if you own a london taxi cab. ;)

Cheers guys!
Mark,ill need to get in touch with you regarding wax/polish 4 paintwork.

Hi Foxes,

no probs, just give me a shout on the number if you need to discuss anything prior to ordering.

I have also just got this CarLack68 Plastic Cleaner in designed for dashboards. I will use it tomorrow on the heavo and will show the dashboard piccies half on/off to get an idea of the results.
