Default Finally applied stickdashfix

I finally found time to complete this project, I had originally applied the cleaner product about 3 weeks ago and the gray dust started coming back so I had to do that again.

Some observations:
- my dash was not super sticky but some places closer to the glass were definitely worse
- as you can see from the pics it was turning gray everywhere, even places that were covered by plastic and never got sunlight
- the cleaning product alone cleared out the dust almost completely
- it is really difficult to not get splotchy results. In very visible areas (passenger side dash) I applied multiple coats. Use long back/forth strokes front->back. Don't skimp, you're unlikely to run out of product.
- disassemble everything you can. The triple gauge cluster was the most difficult since I cannot see in the back and cannot be removed easily. Still splotchy there, but can't really see so much.

My verdict: It's worth the effort and money, I look back at the pictures I took before I started and it's obvious I had to do something. It will take 4+ hours to complete, but I did it over a week since it's not my daily driver.
