I have the 2006TL and want to protect the top of the dash from fading etc. I am not sure what the material that looks perforated just in front of the driver is I can tell the dash other than this is leather. I have a Shield to use for the sun but it is still a good idea to protect and clean the dash regularly as I have found the hard way.

I have used Maguire’s Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner/conditioner for many years on other cars and it does a great job not greasy feeling and not shiny (years ago it had other names but seemed the same) and on the non leather areas I usually use Armor-all.

The material on the top of the dash feels like a rubber but I am not sure so I don't know what is best to use to clean and protect this area especially since it has the perforations and I would not want to get any build-up of conditioner in these holes.

Any recommendation for protecting all the materials appreciated best to learn from the good and the bad experiences of others

Thanks ALL !!!

 

You don't want to overuse Armor All as it will eventually dry out the dashboard and lead to cracking.

I recommend just keep it out of the sun as much as possible, Armor All twice a year.

 

I would use the Lexol dash cleaner. If you are worried about the build ups in the little holes, just spray the cleaner on a cloth and then wipe it on.

Thanks I will pick up some Lexol Dash Cleaner The local Auto parts shop has it. Would you use that on the leather also or should I use the Meguiar's for the leather and the Lexol for the perforated dash areas?

Does Lexol make a conditioner also or is the cleaner all that I should use?

Appreciate the help I want to keep my TL looking new

Thanks Again !!

 

I think Lexol makes a leather cleaner and a conditioner. I only use the Lexol leather conditioner and the dash cleaner. They work really well.

Thanks I will get some of the Lexol products on the way home if you have had good luck with Lexol then that is what I will use. Thanks for the help !!
