Where to Buy: http://www.wheretobuy303.com/
I can't recommend per se, especially as I don't know what material the dash is made out of... However, from the back of the bottle it lists interior and exterior of vehicles: vinyl & leather interiors, plastic bumpers, fender flares, trim and lenses, car bras, tonneau covers, vinyl soft tops & plastic windows, chrome & alloy wheels.
There is more listed on the bottle, including many non automotive uses.
all you have to do is spray on and wipe dry. I do it once or max twice a year on my boat, and that is plenty. The UV protection is great. And it repels dust, soiling and staining. I have used it on a bunch of other stuff and it works great.

I just paid $3.45/gal credit card and I thought it had gone up a lot! I guess not the max.

Does this mean that we can put the fuse in when we don't need or want the AWD? Would this give us better gas mileage when we don't need the AWD?
sounds like a good idea, if it would not damage anything.
Does anyone know if it is OK to run with the fuse in (FWD) most of the time? Or until we need the AWD?
Is there anything that we could damage by doing this???

Phdhusky, I scanned the 303 website and they make their own version of scotch guard as well, 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. I have used their shower guard, and that works well. The 303 fabric guard has UV protection as well. Cheaper than having the dealer do something for you... The only thing I'm thinking of for someone else to install along the protection line is the "hood bra". But it is $200+. Still debating.

Dra's six year old Bug has these patches. Only downside is the tendency to accumulate dirt at the margins which requires targeted effort to remove. Otherwise, they are as new.

Is the paint chipping problem why they offer the rear under bumper guard? Do owners recommend it? Would a bra work there, or not needed???

As far as I know, the underguard isn't related to the chipping issue, but is mostly a cosmetic add-on to make it look more "rugged", though it could protect the lower bumper from scratches from driving over branches or things like that. (I actually like the way it looks.)

Actually, in shopping around my area, I have found the new vehicles are priced competetively with the low mileage 1 or 2 year old vehicles. I was surprised to see that.
