    Does anybody have a particular product that you use to keep your dash supple and crack free? I have a 2008 430 Spyder and I had a mechanic tell me to be careful of some conditioners that are too oily. Any assistance is greatly appreciated

    Put a windshield cover on at any time the car is parked out doors and leave a window cracked open unless raining.

    Our 22 year old TR dash is still perfect from just doing that. We are recovering a 575 dash right now for someone who did not follow this simple method.


    My leather upholsterer still recommends Connoly Hide Food. Connoly is out of business but the hide food product is still being made.


    There is no chemical that will prevent sun damage.

    303 protectant is supposed to have sunscreen built in. It's great stuff for vinyl (contains no silicone). I've used it only as a vinyl proctectant, so I have NOT used it on leather personally, but seems like some use it for leather if you google "303 on leather". It looks like they use a regular leather conditioner and then occasionally top it with 303. I don't like to recommend combinations I haven't personally tried, so definitely research before you try it.
