We're among those that have not had a cracked dash. This is amazing because the car started life in Florida and now we bought it in North Carolina so it's seen plenty of sunshine. It's a brown Pebble Beach model. So our question is, what has anyone done to prolong the life of their dash. Any chemicals that have rejuvenated the plastic? Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

 

Search for 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's widely used by detailers and is considered one of the best stuff for your dash. It's a very matte finish and not oily like some of the other products on the market.

 

I have used AS303 since I bought the car and when it finally ended up being outside the garage, it succumbed to the cracking eventually. Happy that Lexus is replacing it. I am waitig for the call for the install.

 

I was thinking like you 2 years ago when our 06 dash still looked new. We live in FL and have always parked in a garage. Now it has about 10" of cracks. The first ones start off as a minor blemish just above the left side of the glove box. The blemish is the top layer separating from the bottom. The top layer then cracks or peels off over time. Cracking is only a secondary issue. The glue degrading is the cause.
