I can take Paypal (friends & family), Venmo or the Cash App. Please PM me and let me know what you want to use and I'll send you my info so you can transfer the funds. This will just be so I can get the product here. Once I have it I'll need everyone's mailing address in order to provide the shipping costs.

Is this product for after the fact or a preventative measure?

For us this is for after the fact. I don't know if anyone can attest to this products preventative effectiveness.

What's the latest model year anyone has experienced this? I know Nissan changed the dash part number for I believe 2019/2020, so I hope this issue has been addressed in the final builds.

I've received everyone's payment. I'll contact filip00 and get the ball moving forward on importing the product.

I've sent filip00 an email about this at his personal address. Waiting to hear back.

We're doing it :)

Rob sent me the payment, confirming it has arrived. Will go to the shop tomorrow.
I told him it's possible I'll need another $10 when I sum up the conversion and fees, but we'll see about that after - nothing critical :)
I'll post updates.

filip00 09-13-2023 01:39 PM

Stuff acquired, will be shipping it tomorrow. Was meant to do it today, but got stuck at work.

filip00 09-15-2023 11:09 AM

Just to update - package sent this morning! I sent a receipt info to Spartan, the tracking number should be there as well.

nis350 09-17-2023 01:09 AM

Thanks for the update. What is the ETA?

I don't know that, I never sent stuff to the USA. I suspect it's a week or two.

Spartan 1771 09-20-2023 12:26 PM

Look what I just received!

BiG time Props to Fillip00!

If you're in on this group by and haven't already sent me your mailing address, please do so ASAP! I'll need that info to calculate the domestic shipping charges.

Just so you're all aware, my responses after Friday may be delayed a bit. I'm going in for knee surgery and will be down for the count for a few days. I'm hoping to get all of this shipped within the next 7 days though.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2c0910d597.jpg

Glad to see it was received without any issues. It was MUCH faster than I hoped for. Awesome, now I hope you all get the same good results as I did :)

TLDR: worth a try, no luck for me, yet.

Received the product, extremely well packaged and well sealed, I bet I could kick shipping box like a soccer ball and the bottle inside would be just fine. Mucho Gracias!

It's the fall, but it's still clear sky and 95F during the day in Dallas, Texas. I hurried up with trying the product so I can put the dashboard to the natural torture test.

Sat the dashboard under the sun for about 25 minutes while I took a dump. The dash surface temp was showing 160F+ (concrete next to it was showing 105F), dash was nice and shiny/melty.

For giggles, I applied the product on 1/4 of the dash when it's still hot and melty (around 140F at this point).

Did another 1/4 when it's completely cooled off (dry air, A/C environment, plus cooled with a cooling pad).

Let 1/2 untouched (including the 3 pod covers)

I applied 3 times on each side. Let it cure for a couple of hours in-door. Threw it back outside for Texas sun torture test. Shiny and melty again.

Note: on this spare dash, all area was "infected", except for the pod covers. They remained matted and smooth to the touch under the sun.

Let me know if y'all have other ideas to test. Hopefully others have better luck.

cv129 09-28-2023 04:36 PM

Hmmm....

Right after the last post, under the hot sun, I applied another layer to the 1st 1/4 of the test surface. Yes I poured the chemical directly on the shiny and melty dash, right under the sun. It was hard to move the sponge initially, but I poured enough to make sure all the bumpy surface gets the chemical. I don't know why that would matter, I was hoping the chemical can bond with the layer better if things were melting.

It's been over an hour since, just went out to check again, and there's actually a distinct difference. That 1/4 area looks less shiny (although not the original matted), and it's actually dry to the touch, left no residue on my hand...while the other areas are sticky and shiny.

Sorry for the rant....

I'll leave the dash out, recheck tomorrow, see if my luck continues.

I packed it as if Ace Ventura was gonna deliver it.

Day 2, dash been outside for 24+ hours, another 90+F full sun clear sky. In the picture, right hand side is still dry to the touch, and noticeably more matted. Second picture shows surface temp. The middle line was where I had masking tape on (fell off when dash turned melted under the sun).

I知 leave it out there for more time to see if it値l fail at some point.

I知 also going to try the same application technique using 303, to see if that will work.

nis350 09-29-2023 09:57 PM

First, wanted thank you for posting the results. I hope I read this correctly... So we just have to put a lot of the protectant a few times for it to work?

I can accept a non-sticky semi shiny dash if that's the end result.

You have to apply it when the dash is hot and shiny. Do it while the dash is in the molten state.

filip00 09-30-2023 01:20 PM

I gotta say I was reading the posts above hoping it really does work for you guys as well. When I discovered it and applied it on my dash, I had just the beginning of the dreaded stickiness issue and it was a super easy fix. I always thought that fck it - who knows if it can cure the infected dash....but I'm so happy to read that it actually does help! Hope it works completely and stays that way!

nis350 09-30-2023 02:43 PM

Just curious how you apply it in your case? Did you have to do it a few times in between days? Thanks again for your help.

Day 3, another hot day with full sun. Still good.

I applied several light coats in one evening, and I think that was it. I must note though - my dash was just barely starting to get sticky. So it could be that with a really problematic dash it's a question of getting light coats over several days for it to really cure it.

nis350 10-04-2023 11:43 AM

how's the dash doing?
