Protect Your Dash from UV Rays
It’s no secret that UV rays from the sun can be damaging. If it can damage something like human skin, imagine what could do for your dashboard upholstery!
One obvious sign is discoloration.
At one point, your dashboard’s color will begin to fade. This can also be contributed by the extreme heat from the outdoors. Once you notice this discoloration, you face the task of spending a ton of money on repairing it yourself or getting it repaired.
If you live in an area with abundant sunshine, you’ll want to take the necessary precautions to keep your dashboard protected.
One of the best ways to protect it is by using a windshield screen. When the vehicle is not being occupied, you can block the sun from entering your vehicle. This will be great for protecting your dashboard and keeping the inside of a little cooler.
Another alternative you might want to consider is tinting your windows and windshield. While this might be well-intended, it might cost you money in the process.
Last, but not least, there’s parking inside a garage or carport. Depending on where you are, you might find a place where your vehicle won’t always be exposed to the sun.
Don’t Forget About Dust
Of course, dust can build up on your dashboard over time.
An easy fix is just with a combination of rags and a vacumn. You’ll want to vacuum the dashboard first so you can get rid of any contaminants in the way.
Afterwards, you can focus on the stubborn areas of the dashboard. You can wipe down the dash with a cloth and a cleaning product of your choice.
The last step is just to wipe down any excess product that you left behind. Make sure you use a separate dry towel for it. You can also choose to apply a wax or interior dressing for extra protection.
However, choosing a product the protect your dashboard can be challenging. To help you out, we have the perfect product for you. Let’s get into it!
Say Hello to the Interior Kit (Intra Clean and Intra Shield with Ceramic)
With Torque Detail’s Interior Kit you protect your dashboard and interior. We have the Intra Clean and the Intra Shield with Ceramic. Featuring two bottles of product, if you are looking to clean your dashboard, the Intraclean will be exactly what you need!
This will deep clean your dashboard and your leather and cloth surfaces. It also leaves a pleasant smell, which can kill odors on contact. Even better – it won’t discolor or alter any interior fabrics.
So how do you apply the Intra Clean solution? It takes at least four easy steps to get it done. Let’s show you how to do it:
- Apply it to the surface (such as your dashboard). Make sure there is some light to moderate contamination present. You must vacuum before applying it if the dashboard is very dirty.
- Spray the Intra Clean where needed.
- Use a microfiber towel and wipe off the product
- Using another microfiber towel, wipe the area dry
And you’re done. It shouldn’t take you any longer than five to ten minutes (depending on how dirty it is).
Remember, this can be used for other parts of your interior. If your dashboard can be harmed by UV rays, so can much of your interior. So it’s important to protect it as much as possible.
Protect Your Dashboard From UV Rays
Normally, we’d recommend another product. However, we’d be hard pressed not to mention the other half of the Interior Kit. Intra Shield will be the perfect product for you to use to protect your dashboard from the sun.
This provides you with a layer that is breathable and transparent. Like Intra Clean, this won’t alter any colors or fabric. You will need to vacuum the surface and cool it off before application.
Of course, you want to make sure you avoid direct sunlight. Spray it on your dashboard and wipe it down with a microfiber applicator. Make sure it’s gently and evenly applied with a microfiber towel or sponge.
You’re going to need another microfiber towel to wipe off the product itself. Once complete, it will need a few hours to cure it. For best results, wait 24 hours before rubbing it in.
