Boomguy Posted February 28, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I have removed my original windshield from my 1970 z so as to put in a less scratched and pitted one for an upcoming event. While I have my windshield out I wondered if there was any preventative maintenance I could do on the dash to prevent cracking, it is original and uncracked at this time.

grannyknot Posted February 28, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 28, 2019 The best thing you can do is keep it out of the sun, even when driving I leave one of those dash toupees on it to keep the sun off and only take it off for shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomguy Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted February 28, 2019 I agree! One reason this dash has survived is that it has had a dash-topper on it for the last 25 years! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zup Posted February 28, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 28, 2019 I totally agree with grannyknot . In addition--- Opinions will differ, but I wipe my dashes down with Mothers Protectant often. It keeps them clean, has a UV inhibitor and is not shiny or greasy and smells really good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomguy Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I have been using 303 Protectant for awhile now with good results.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000BYMNQ/ Edited February 28, 2019 by Boomguy Corrected link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys swear by Vasoline, I tried it once and the dash looked amazing, not shiny but a warm healthy glow. You rub in the the thinnest layer that that you can then with a clean cotton cloth try and remove as much as possible. Just not sure about the chemistry.

gnosez Posted March 10, 2019 Share #7 Posted March 10, 2019 Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil. Let sit for a day or two. Add more to the spots that aren't shiny. Wipe off. Coming up on 47 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
