I replaced my accent (terrible, awful, evil ******* car) with a Toyota echo and noticed that the natural shine product I usually use looks great everywhere but the upper dash, the black parts in front, not the lower greys. It's textured, so I tried applying more, and for awhile, that worked, but it looks blotchy again ony a few days later, as if it is drying out. Is there something I should know about cleaning this economy car?

Re: Blotchy interior in Toyota echo
First off, welcome to MOL!
As for your situation at hand, have you done anything to really clean the finish before applying the Natural Shine? NS has very light cleaning ability so you might want to hit the surface with some Quik Interior Detailer first (you'll be surprised at the cleaning ability of this product) or some all purpose cleaner and a warm, we towel. If using a household all purpose cleaner make sure first that it's safe for use on vinyl, and even then you might want to dilute it 50/50 with water. But it sounds like a good cleaning is in order first here, then apply the NS.Michael Stoops

Re: Blotchy interior in Toyota echo
I noticed the bottle says to keep off of plastic panels. the dash on this car is plastic. Is that going to hurt anything?
I removed it by going over it a few times with invisible glass (not very useful on glass, but pulls dirt right out of textured shifters and steering wheels.) It looks dull, but clean. I'm hesitant to try applying this product again until I hear back from you guys on how this would work on hard, deeply textured plastic rather than the shallower, softer stuff I've had in my other cars.

I would apply the dressing, and then let it sit for 5 minutes or so. Then come back and buff off the excess. Helps even things out, and just incase a surface didnt absorb a lot of dressing.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue
