I agree on the 303 product. Used it for years. Glossy finish, but not slippery like Armor-All, doesn’t attract dust and it last a while too.

Um, my dash is not cracked. Glad you had a good laugh at my expense though. I have tried all kinds of cleaners on my dash once, including Windex, but none of them has performed very well. Hence my question to the list.
Thanks, Rich, I think I will try the Aerospace 303.
