Great BC tip for restoring dashboard rocker switches

[k80rum]

I remember reading a thread quite a while ago about restoring the 'blackness' of the dashboard switches. It involved cleaning them with Autoglym leather restorer.

 

Well, my switches were looking decidedly grey after 5 years exposure to the elements and noticing said Autoglym product in the garage, I though i'd give it a go. I'm sure there are other tips that work just as well but this worked an absolute treat - the switches look like they did when I first bought the car.

 

So a big *thumbup* to whoever suggested it - highly recommended if your switches are looking a little 'tired' 😬

I used some ArmorAll on mine and it has lasted 6 months now, they look great now they are black once more. I also used it on the dash itself, as it protects and makes it easier to clean.

It did take about 5 applications, with about 30mins inbetween, for the switches, but each time the grey area got a bit smaller and eventually went completely.

Someone also suggested using the Autogly bumper car, which restored my switches and Unpainted carbon bits. Does a superb job! 😬

Armourall on a regualr basis will keep them like new also works well on the rest of the interior
