Hi all,

I should be getting my van back from the painter next week and I've
been thinking of all those parts that are going to look so drab
against the new paint. The dash is, of course, the biggest and most
visible. Does anybody know a way to get the dash to look like new
again, and to hopefully stay that way for a while? I'm not really
interested in that high-gloss Armor-All look . . .

The funny thing is, I was thinking about this and wondered if anybody
had ever put liquid shoe polish on their dash? Would this work, or be
bad for the dash? My gut's telling me that it should go the way of all
crazy ideas, but I just don't know what the dash material is and what
chemicals could hurt it or not. Oh, I also want to treat the
instrument panel cover.

Open to ideas . . .

Thanks,
Marc Perdue, in central VA
