Have a motor with a look dashboard black and clean certainly gives you a sense of satisfaction. However, exposure to sunlight (UV) and rain often makes the plastic body rough (trim) become dull, white, and even moldy.
One of the best solutions to overcome this is to provide extra protection. Here is a complete guide on how to apply dashboard coating so that the results are durable and long-lasting using AutoGard Dashboard Coating.
Why is the motorcycle dashboard dull?
Before getting into the technicalities, we need to know the main enemy of motor plastic:
- UV light: Breaks down the polymer structure of the plastic, causing oxidation (whitened appearance).
- Rainwater Residue: The minerals in dried rainwater can trigger mold growth.
- Dust & Dirt: If left on for a long time, dirt will enter the pores of the plastic.
Stages of Application for Longevity & Anti-Mold
Maximized results depend not only on the product, but also on the surface preparation. Follow these steps:
1. Deep Cleaning
Make sure the substrate is completely clean. Wash parts dashboard Use a mild detergent soap to remove any remaining tire polish or oil. Use an old toothbrush to reach the narrow pores of the plastic.
2. Ensure the Media is Perfectly Dry
This step is crucial. If there is any water left in between the plastic, the liquid coating will not stick perfectly. Wipe with microfiber and let it sit for a while until it is completely dry.
3. AutoGard Dashboard Coating Application
Use AutoGard Dashboard Coating to restore natural black color while providing protection.
- Shake the can for 30 seconds to mix the formula well.
- Spray thinly and evenly on the plastic surface.
4. Drying Process
Allow the liquid to soak in for 5-10 minutes. AutoGard is designed with a quick-drying, non-sticky formula (non-greasy), so dust will not easily stick back and is also equipped with NiX Technology, a gasoline-resistant technology.
