    A better question is, Now that we don't use dash covers, what type of product do you use to keep the dash hydrated/healthy?

    No dash cover for me.
    I do use a sunshade when the truck is going to be parked in the sun for a while and Meguiars natural shine every other cleaning, it's suppose to have UV blockers.

    Give Mequiar's a shot.

    The bottle with the Yellow car is Mequair's Ultimate Quick Wax. I can wax my whole truck in about 10-15 minutes
    $30 Meguiar's G17516 Ultimate Quik Wax, 15.2 Fluid Ounces
    https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G17...qid=1501786245&sr=8-4&keywords=meguiars+spray

    Purple bottle is their Interior detail spray. Great stuff. Cleans with no streaking or greasy feel.
    $9 Meguiar's G7624 Gold Class High Gloss Premium Quik Detailer - 24 Oz Spray Bottle
    https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G76...id=1501786245&sr=8-14&keywords=meguiars+spray

    Red bottle is as J.M mentioned is their natural Shine cleaner and Protestant. Stuff works good on outside faded Black plastic too. Makes it look almost new.
    $9 Meguiar's G4116 Natural Shine Protectant - 16 Oz Spray Bottle
    https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G41...&sr=8-1&keywords=meguiars+spray+natural+shine

    I currently use their nxt 2.0 wax but it keeps leaving white streaks on my flares. Switching to ultimate liquid wax but I'll try that red label stuff on the flares.

    Any wax will leave white residue(dried wax) on black plastic. Use some blue painters tape to tape everything off first.

    Beyond that you need a wax remover. Back to Black is pretty decent stuff, but its not a wax remover.

    Mequiar's Ultimate Quick wax absolutely will not leave a White residue. Been using it for years and I spray it everywhere. Never any residue, anywhere.
