Default Dash Protection

What is everyone doing to protect dash while vehicle is parked? I have '15 Plat and I worry about leather on the dash eventually cracking etc..

You guys didn't pick the electrochromic glass option? Darkens the windshield to opaque after pushing the button on your fob three times. Just have to make sure to not accidentally push the button three times while you're driving because the stupid engineers at Ford didn't think to disable that option while the truck is in motion.

That option works great. But you're right, definitely don't do it while driving!

I use Meguiars quick interior detailer. Cleans very well. Leaves you with a clean shine look, without the overly greasy sheen or residue. It also protects against UV rays.

I use a combo of quick detailer with UV protection, window shades, and tint.

I like it....beats having to strain my arm lifting it so high to pull down a visor when driving into the sun.
