Default Dash

Anyone notice how the dash material takes marks SO easily? I don't have time to go to the dealership and have them wipe it down. Any ideas?

if youre under warranty take it to the dealer, theres a TSB regarding the melting dash. Though im not quite sure if you are experiencing signs of the melting dash issue.

I have a bigger issue with marks on the door skins than I do on the dash. Seems like anything that touches them leaves a "scratch" looking mark. Left one just today after taking pics of the car. I reached over to make sure I had shut the passenger door and left a damn scratch on it because I was looking down at my phone when doing so. Grrrrr....

i dont know the duration. i had an 06 @ 120K miles. i was out of warranty and had to call corporate. needless to say they covered 90% of the cost. i only paid 200 out of pocket. They replaced the entire front dash.

Thanks everyone! I have a 2013 so hopefully it doesn't happen. It's a lease so I'm not too worried it's their car and their problem if it does LOL

I have a 2008 that was out of warranty and they replaced the entire dash, parts and labor, for no cost. I was extremely pleased. Even hooked me up with a free loaner while they did the work.

303 Aerospace, is that stuff like Armor All? I am not the biggest fan of the glossy finish that Armor All leaves.
