QFR Dashboard Polish
Dashboard Polish is a specialized care product designed to clean, polish, and protect automotive interior surfaces. It effectively combats UV rays, dust, and daily wear, restoring the dashboard's shine and extending its service life.
Functions
Polishing & Restoring: Significantly enhances the dashboard's gloss. Micro-abrasive particles repair fine scratches and matte layers, restoring the original color.
Deep Protection: Provides a long-lasting protective layer that effectively resists ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight. This is key to preventing aging, fading, and cracking of interior plastics and vinyl.
Dust-Proof & Anti-Static: Many product formulas feature anti-static properties, reducing dust adhesion and keeping the dashboard clean for longer.
Water-Repellent & Easy Cleaning: Forms a protective layer on the surface, giving it a degree of hydrophobicity, making daily stains and water marks easier to wipe clean.
Product Features
High-quality polishes are often silicone-free formulas, avoiding oily film formation on the windshield and a greasy feel on interiors. Various formulations are available, such as sprays and liquids.
Typically suitable for most hard surfaces inside a car, such as plastic, vinyl, and rubber. Some products are also suitable for leather, but dedicated leather conditioners are recommended for genuine leather.
Many products have a pleasant fragrance (e.g., lemon, peach) that improves the interior air quality. Their ingredients also often possess eco-friendly characteristics.
Application Guide
Pre-Application Preparation:
Clean the Surface: This is an essential first step. Thoroughly remove dust, grease, and grime from the dashboard using a dedicated automotive interior cleaner or all-purpose cleaner (APC). Applying polish directly to a dirty surface will significantly diminish results.
Prepare Tools: Prepare 2-3 microfiber towels for cleaning, application, and final polishing respectively. Use one for dusting and initial cleaning, and another clean, soft towel for buffing.
Application Steps:
Even Spraying: Shake the product well and spray it directly onto the dashboard surface or onto a microfiber towel.
Even Application: Use the towel to spread the product evenly in gentle circular motions.
Drying Time: Allow the product to sit on the surface for a few minutes to fully penetrate and cure.
Final Buffing: Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to gently buff and polish until the desired shine is achieved.
Effect Duration: The protective effect from a single application typically lasts several weeks. Durability depends on product quality, parking environment (e.g., sun exposure intensity), and frequency of use.
Daily Maintenance Tips
To keep your dashboard looking new long-term, daily maintenance is equally important:
Weekly, use a dry microfiber cloth to quickly dust the surface, preventing buildup.
Avoid spraying polish directly onto displays, instrument clusters, or other electronic components. Instead, spray it onto the towel first, then wipe.
During long-term parking, use a windshield sunshade. This is one of the most effective methods to reduce UV-induced aging.
