Finally got around to testing this new product out. It should be noted that my Z is out of commission due to an oil leak. Therefore I had to take the pictures in my garage. I rolled down the windows, opened the doors, turned on all my garage lights and had both garage doors open to let in as much light as possible. I also used a work lamp to produce even more light. Because of the issue, I wasn't able to test this out in direct sunlight. So I don't know if it will get sticky when it gets hot.

The product says to spray it directly on the dash. I only wanted to apply it to a specific area, so I opted to spray it directly on a microfiber towel and then wipe the dash with it.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the results so far. I'll know more once I can get the car out of the garage and in to direct sunlight.

thanks for posting the pics. curious if it turns a bit shiny under the hot sun for a few days?

thanks for posting the info. the ultimate test is whether it turns shiny under the hot sun for a few days.

I'll post an update in a few weeks. Before I took the photo it had a full day under the sun.

Three days later and it still looks pretty good. I'm looking forward to getting the car back in to the sunlight to see how it holds up under those conditions.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c70e7d032a.jpg

any good news? still looking good? thanks.

I ve been driving mine a few weeks now and even made a trip to the track and the dash looks perfect!

Photo is a little grainy but it is the same as the apillar in the photo.

No oil slicks on it thank god.

It's been two weeks since I treated a section of he passenger side dash with Optimum. It's been in the garage this entire time and still looks good.

Pic 2 - In the 85 degree sun for 20 minutes. The treated and untreated areas both got sticky again.

Pic 3 - After being back in the cool garage for 30 minutes. The dash is no longer sticky at all and you can visibly see the difference between the treated and untreated sections

The verdict - This product restores the dried out white faded effect, but does not prevent it from getting sticky in the warm sun.

So your product completely solved this issue? No fading and no sticky dash, no matter the temperature or level of sunlight?

thanks for posting the results. My guess is that it will likely to become more sticky as it exposes more time under the sun, perhaps days or weeks.

So far so good, color good and not sticky. Although, I can't yet tell regarding sunlight, as it was only 1 day where I left it in sunlight for several hours. Other than that, it was either a shorter drive or night.

What was the outdoor temperature when you had the car outside?

Wasn't that warm around 20°C ~ 70F.
I'll post an update when it gets warmer and the car sees some more sun and heat.

any update on the results? Thanks.

how's your dash look now? Thx.
