Another Sticky Dash Issue

nis350

dash was a bit sticky. wiped down with water, and it was nice and dry for a few months, then I noticed today that the color of the dash became kinda greyish on the surface... it is still dry. Weather here is cool and car is always parked indoor during this time period.

as other stated, the sticky mess is probably from the dash materials and eventually cause the material (dash) to crack..

dash cover seems to be the reasonable solution. hopefully someone will come out with a nice one.

If the Dash is turning greyish you are screwed.

If you compare the dash to your door, you can see the difference.

the color of the dash was fine until I cleaned it with water from reading the posts here.

I wiped it with the Meguiars Interior cleaner last night and let it sit for a day, then I wiped it again with a dry cloth. the color is back to normal now without any stickiness, but time will tell if it'll get sticky later on. However, I prefer the little stickiness than the greyish color dash.

I am a little puzzled as to where/how the greyish color come about.

Mine does the same thing. Greyish color goes away but eventually comes back. It's really bad around the gauges cluster area or when you open the door and can see part of the dash.

My plan is to eventually remove the dash and wrap it with suede but I have so many projects going on.

I cant believe every other plastic piece in the car is perfectly fine expect the damn dash.

RW - I bought some "Allsport 4-way stretch" vinyl for my sub box project and it seems like it will stretch and contour over darn near anything. I'll bet wrapping your dash with it would be a cakewalk.... I have some leftover (and I am local to you) if you wanted to come check out a sample.
