Didn't even need to click on link to tell you they are offering up bad advice
Applying dressing to the upper part of dash (much less vaseline) increases sun glare dramatically. Not to mention how dusty it would become and how difficult to remove

I can't imagine the Vaseline absorbing very well and it would attract a lot of dust since it wouldn't ever really dry.
The other problem I see is Vaseline doesn't have any UV protection in it. Most reputable interior dressings these days have some sort of product in it which will help protect the interior trim from the sun.

Reading that article will make you cringe. Hard to imagine people doing those things to their automobile.

Not all dressings cause sun glare. Chemical Guys Silk Shine does not. However, I agree vaseline would and it just sounds like a bad idea for all of the reasons you listed.

The Scrubbing Bubbles one really got me. I can't imagine what that would do...a tub/tile cleaner on vinyl? Ouch.

Re: is this rumor true or not?
I prefer vicks medicated for winter dashboard dressings. But on the reals, i only use non-shiny, no glare dressings, if I dress a dash at all.
