        A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

          Dilute it 1:1 and lay it on thick and it probably will.

          Dilute it 4:1 and apply it properly (ie, thin application with a follow up wipe down a few minutes later) and it won't.

              Well, when diluted, you will lessen the UV protection, thats for sure.

                OK, let's clear up something here - technically, Hyper Dressing does not contain any ingredients specifically designed to block UV rays, that's true. But, if you use it regularly the silicone in it will block UV to some degree (fairly effectively, actually) while the glass in your windows will block even more (upwards of 95% in most cases).

                When used on tires Hyper Dressing effectively blocks the damaging effects of ozone, which is the real culprit with tires, not UV.

                Now, if you're only going to use a product on your dash once every six months like Joe Consumer tends to do (and that might even be a lot for him) then Hyper Dressing may not be the best choice. Certainly Natural Shine and Supreme Shine will provide true UV screeners that HD lacks. But if you're the typical MOL kinda guy who dresses the dash monthly and then even wipes it down weekly with QID, then HD is perfectly fine for use on the dash.

                    Also depends on the rake, angle, pitch, or degree of the windsheild some are steeper then others and which affect that 4th Gen Fbodies (Camaro/Firebird) are notorious for this and almost ANY product will make it worse.

                    I will be getting some HD and will dilute to the 4 to 1 ratio and give it a shot. Will make remarks when I can.
