dude... that was the worst attempt at sarcasm... you could have had him running for armorall and develop cracks everywhere... Einzette has some stuff, but you need the sun shield, OR have it wrapped.

The key to not cracking is keeping the dash soft and not brittle. Armorall will do a good job, or maybe some vinyl conditioner. Mine was cracked and dry when i got it, after a few times of conditioning it was very soft, still cracked but soft.

windsheild sun shield should be enough, and/or car cover.

I was dead serious. Armorall does amazing job, my gf's car doesn't have a single crack, and she doesn't even have a windshield screen.

Make sure you don't get leather stuff, as that will dry and crack your dash in pattern you've never seen before. Also gf's car, dash was horrible when I bought it. Some one used leather treatment on the dash.

Well would using cockpit spray help?

I don't know if you can get it over there, but Vinyl-X is made for cleaning and protecting vinyl parts and has a UV inhibitor to protect against sun damage

Use a sun blocking shield, clean the dash with silicon free (and not oily/shiny) cleaning agent and clean cloth, leave your windows open a little bit.

303 Aerospace is a decent UV protector.

UV Protection is the key. Most vinyl products with have it in them. And use a sunshade 365 days a year.
