Gtechniq C4 on a dashboard. Anyone have experience with this?

[AtoZDetailing]

I will be working on a 2004 BMW 330i and the dash is looking a bit tired. I was wondering if anyone here has used c4 on a dash and with what results. My only concern is that it would be very time consuming to get in to every nook, cranny, vent, button, etc.

I have used C4 on a cowl (exterior) and on plastic trim. Never a dash. Not sure I would want to either- it would be too much work or get close to the windshield and be consistently and the color change would make any missed areas jump out.

I have used GTECH Dash Mate and it works well and also Ultima interior guard plus and recently picked up Optimum Protectant Plus (it is suppose to be UV and attract less dust) I will let you know if that is the case as it just arrived yesterday.

Absolutely no...it will be to difficult to spread evenly. If you decided you wanted to remove it..next to impossible.

Thanks, I would appreciate that.

I figured spreading it evenly and getting into every corner would be hard to do.

Is there anything to do with those BMW dashboards other than dust them?

I honestly don't think dashboards need much more than a wipedown. For UV protection I'd put my money towards tint, even if it is clear tint if you don't like the look. You want to avoid anything glossy to avoid reflecting sunlight in an obtrusive way.
