Another Sticky Dash Issue

SG4247

So, I damaged the engine in my 370 tracking it two years ago. It has been in my shop for that ENTIRE time. Out of direct sunlight.

I am putting the repaired engine back in last month (Feb), and noticed the dash has turned completely chalky white. This is an absolute shock to me. Because, I have been in and out of the cabin several times and not noticed this. It looks like it has been painted white, all of it.

It is completely white, top and sides, even next to the door panels where it wraps around the sides of the body. Even behind the instrument cluster.

So, this is not from too much sunlight, it appears.

I choose to ignore the dash, and focus on getting the engine installed and running.

Once the car is running, I drive it out of the shop into the outside sun. I notice immediately the dash starts to change and becomes sticky like oils are coming to the surface.

My brother in law sends me info on a product that will fix it. I am skeptical, and planning to buy a new $1800 dash from Nissan and install it myself.

The miracle product arrives from Autogeek and I reluctantly try one application.

IT WORKS! I am so impressed!

30 days later and the dash still looks like new.

Hope this helps others!
