Came across this product will this also help maintain our dash? Has anyone tried it?

I use Mother's VLR (Vinyl Leather Rubber).

Just make sure to apply directly to microfiber cloth first and do NOT get any on clear plastic gauge panel.

dust it, then the manual says mild detergent kinda like dish liquid soap.

I dust, then use Meguire cleaning towels. Last, I use bit of the other Meguire interior wipes.

I hate and avoid the Armor all because it leaves loads of oil...loads. Also, ive had bad experiences in past with mild bubbling.... Maybe old dash problems? Still Armor all seems too harsh for our dashes.

These work fantastic for our interiors. Gives a beautiful, lasting, like new car shine. Gets rid of key scrapes near ignition almost permanently. Avoid using directly on steering wheel.

Um, my dash wasn't shiny when new. I doubt any other twins were, either.
Dashes are typically designed NOT to be shiny to minimize reflection in the windshield and ensure good visibility.
