The 1/4 section where I applied while it’s melted under the sun, it’s still good, dry to the touch, looks the same whether it’s hot or cool.

The 1/4 section where I applied when dash was cool, it would turn sticky when heated by the sun, although not as bad as day 1, and definitely better than the untreated area.

The 1/2 that’s untreated is still bad.

The weather here is cooling off. I’ve pulled the dash back in-door. Fall is finally going to bless Dallas.

It appears that the key is to let the dash absorb the protectant...

Seems that way. For the severe cases, seems like the new chemical has to mix with the melting stuff to “lock it in”.

When summer time comes again next year, I’ll do the same with the dash in my car.

Just a warning... Do not drink it. It smells like Starbucks Mocha....

Are you (filip000, cv129, nis350, ...) still happy with the Shiny Garage product? I have a 2010 with a dash that is starting to get sticky and this product seems like the most promising one. Are your dashes still not sticky and back to having a matte finish?
Thx

I have probably applied it for 10 times now over time. Didn't notice any changes, not better or worse. My car is always in the garage and rarely driven.
