BigEnos Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 OK so the new car has the Premier Trim package which includes the "wrapped and stitched" dash. Is that actually leather on there? It looks and feels like it. If so, other than use a sun shield (already got one) religiously, can I do anything to make sure it survives? People who've seen it seem to think that if it's leather it'll be damaged by the sun. I dunno, seat leather tends to do OK, and I'm already good with doing lexol treatments in my BMW. If that isn't leather, what should I use on it to keep it looking good, if anything? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aonebadbone Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Go ahead and use Lexol on the dash. door panels. seats and shifter boot. Be careful of the steering wheel as it will be slippery and that isn't good. but I think You can do that if You park the car for a few days after treating it. Just make sure that it isn't unsafe to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 It is leather. Make sure the leather treatment you choose includes a UV inhibitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEnos Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thanks, guys. I'll check it out. Nice to know it's actually leather, my sis just bought a new M-B C280, I bet it doesn't have a leather dash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEnos Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I had my windshield tinted as well 35%. No way that'll fly here in CCCP-MD, not sure if I'd want to try to drive through a 35% tinted windshield on a rainy night anway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
