Sticky Dash

[Taffellis]

Anyone know a method that can clean up a Sticky Dash. Mine is starting to mark very easily. Never realised it could soften so much due to the sun/age.

Try Angelwax Enigma Interno.  It will remove stickiness and most surface marks and, unless the damage is deep, bring back something like the original mat factory finish on all the cabin plastics.

Thanks Rabbers your advice is very much appreciated. I will try a find some Angelwax Enigma Interno and post how I get on.

I have tried the Angelwax as suggested. It worked well, maybe too well. In next to no time the top sticky coating of plastic was gone, leaving a grey smooth plastic. So my plan is to removed the side filler covers is prevent them getting covered in black streaks of plastic, Rub down all the smooth sticky plastic, and then cover the texured sticky plastic with fake molehair to match the door cards (just have to ensure the airbag to not compromised). That should be easier than removing the whole dash.

Sounds good, but I don’t quite understand the ”maybe too well” comment.

Just letting people know that it will, in a few rubs of the cloth, it will totally remove the sticky layer of plastic right down to the base plastic. On normal plastic car interior it wouldn't do this. I think it's a great product, thanks for the recommendation.

I see what you mean.  There are some quite potent premium cleaning/conditioning products out there, including Angelwax ones, and I find it best to go easy when first  trying them.
