Leaving it and doing nothing is not an option, I've seen what happens.
I applied to the dashboard 303 Aerospace Protectant and massaged with a foam applicator. Is it ok to use foam?
Then I buffed with a microfiber cloth.
I don’t think the applicator matters... i ‘d ad a second coat. Maybe look into a more substantial coating like Cquartz leather. Suppose to be good on interior plastics and leathers

Thanks yep was going to add second coat in about 5 days
Can the Cquartz leather be applied by a amateur. How often does it need to reapplied and preparation?

It’s easy to use as you apply and let dry. They have a new 2.0 version and i’m not sure if you can use that on dash.
1.0 version could be used on interior vinyl and plastic.

Re: 303 aerospace protectant what it can do
Don't take this the wrong way but my thoughts are that you are overthinking this. Stick with a regular regiment with 303 and it will be fine. If the plastic is dry you will know as the plastic will absorb the product. In the end it is a weekend
car that is parked in the garage that is driven on occasion after all.
I have two cars and the one that is in the garage and comes out every now and then gets nothing put on the dash. Its a 2002 and I am not worried one bit. The dash in my 99 is older and it to has held up fine in the California sun. I use Gyeon preserve a handful of times but other than that it gets a weekly wipe down.

This is a worst case dash in a 3LT C7 which is the Nappa leather dash. Mine it still "perfect" 7 yrs later.

No from what i’ve read is after about a rear re clean and re apply.
I haven’t used an interior coating yet (except 303 and PBL L&V)
I would message the Guz as he has used this and gyeons product.
Most of info im giving you i found through researching interior coatings my self

Thank you
No offence taken. I just want to make sure im on the right track. Had one go really bad on me.
These dashboards are very prone to cracking.
Please can you tell me if I'm the right track.
Below is what I used to apply Aerospace Protectant would this be ok?
Meguiar's Foam Applicator Pads 2 Pack | Supercheap Auto New Zealand
or would this be best
MEGUIARS X3080 EVEN-COAT APPLICATOR PAD (2PACK)* - SmitsGroup
Looking online the Meguiars Foam Yellow pads seem to have different labels. The link is the one i used.
I used this prior to applying protectant
303(R) Multi-Surface Cleaner– Total Trim
Then this, massaged into Dash
303(R) Aerospace Protectant– Total Trim
Then wiped dry with Microfiber cloth
Thank you for your help

How does it work in the winter don't want it to be too cool?
My car doesn’t heat up in the parking lot in the winter like it would without the Crystalline tint but it isn’t noticeably colder either. I really don’t notice anything different in the winter. I’m not sure but I think the car is easier to heat and easier to cool due to the Crystalline tint keeping heat in/out better.
