Default Protect the trim!

As a new f-150 recent purchaser, what do people recommend for use on the dash and trim for protection from sun damage and wear? I can’t get around it being parked outside but am using a window shade and once my window guards are installed can leave the windows cracked to vent heat.

High quality window film all around (doesn't have to be tinted).

Quality window tint is a good start. Then I use the Meguiar's professional products on mine.

Tint. Ceramic preferably. Doesn't have to be dark to block most of the UV. Then Aerospace 303 wipe down.

Agreed, 3M ceramic window tint and 303 protectant. Only time I noticed the warped dash is when I'm wiping it down.

Is Llumar tint/film a decent brand to go with? Their site showed a few dealers in my area of Raleigh, NC.

I've read that this destroys clear automotive plastics (radio, guages) Can anyone address this issue?
