So, I have two (now three) older Infinitis. The '06 G35 and '06 FX45 both had their dashboards replaced under warranty and both of them are now cracked again. I try to take the best possible care of all parts of the car. I've used most well-regarded cleaners, never armor-all. Most recently I've been using 303 Aerospace and/or some McGuires spray stuff - both with UV protection. I prefer little to no shine. Needless to say, both are now cracked again all over the place, and they are generally kept in a garage and parked under a tree - unless it is going to rain. I've now purchased a 2012 FX50s with a dirty (but unblemished) dashboard and I am afraid to even clean it.
On our old BMW ('08) I could use a scrub brush with light soap on the dashboard and it looked like brand new until selling it in 2016. Obviously, whatever Nissan uses is not as durable, is there anything that is safe to use on this generation of soft vinyl dash? I know people with Lexus cars have the same problems here - I don't know if it is the temperature or the humidity or the stuff I use. On the first FX dashboard I used Zaino stuff exclusively, after it was replaced I used everything else with similar results.
Also - does the clear windshield tint that is supposed to block UV actually help? I think my windows are supposed to block UV.
I like driving the older Infinitis, so suggesting I buy a car that doesn't degrade isn't a great option.
Thanks!
