it's a gel that forms into any shape. i used it on the Tach screen and the nav screen, because i don't wipe them, because after a while the scratches will look ridiculous. i find that it works better on the dash. it's not bad and it will last a long time because you can reuse it.
I need to see that bad gel in action, that's interesting.

I'm using Meguiar interior quick detailer for everything inside from leather to dash, just carefull when wipe the piano black and tach screen.

The dash nulux won't get crack/fade easily, we will be trade for the 5GS before it does get some crack.

My only issue with the top of the dash is that it is slanted so horizontally it collects dust easily. I keep a black towel in the back of the seat and just wipe it off every few days.
