Consumer Description

I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS MY DASH SLOWLY GETTING SHINIER AND MORE STICKY TO THE TOUCH. I HAVE TRIED USING QUALITY CAR PLASTIC/VINYL CLEANERS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT TO NO AVAIL. IN FACT, THE DASH IS SO STICKY THAT USING A CLOTH TO CLEAN IT CAUSES FIBERS TO ADHERE TO THE DASH. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE SHINE IS PRODUCING GLARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IN TURN MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING (ESPECIALLY ON SUNNY DAYS WHEN THE SUN IS HIGH). AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE (ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE LIVING IN WARMER CLIMATES SUCH AS MYSELF) AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE. *TR
