Another Sticky Dash Issue

Hard to believe 303 would cause any damage. It has to be used sparingly and completely buffed off when using it. Plus, 8 years of doing nothing and then trying to put something on it? I use it , so I hope that's not the case.

As a result, I feel it's certain protectants reacting with the dash causing the cracking or it at least accelerates the UV and heat theory.

My dash mat does not stick the the dashboard underneath.

I agree, it’s not the 303. Also, Rusty had used 303 on his dash for god knows how long now.

I own 3 samples that developed to various degrees of “melt” all on their own. Two of which I had used nothing but swifter duster for the few yrs prior to the “melt”. One was a took-off I purchased, that one sat in the original owner’s attic, because race car.

I use it on many other substrates without issue. I bought the car in 2016 so how the dash was treated prior to my ownership is beyond my knowledge; however, I only used 303 and they the cracking started. FWIW, sits in the garage all week as well, that's why I have a hard time believe the damage is solely a heat/UV issue.
