Consumer Description

DURING THE SUMMER MY DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND SHINY DUE TO THE HEAT IN FLORIDA. IF TOUCHED THE PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD WILL STICK TO SKIN, FABRIC, AND EVEN THE WINDOW COVER. EVEN DURING THE COOLER MONTHS THE DASHBOARD NEVER RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL TEXTURE. AGAIN USING A WINDOW COVER DOESN'T KEEP THE DASHBOARD FROM MELTING SINCE THE CAR CONTINUE TO HEAT UP. THIS CAUSES A SERIOUS GLARE DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND MAKES THE DASHBOARD MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE OR STAINING OTHER PARTS OF MY CAR. *TR
