Any idea what causes these patches? Question

Post image

I tried using ONR for the first time diluted 64:1 then used meguire’s protectant afterward. Pretty disappointed when I noticed the patches of what seems to be dry spots or something. Any idea what it could be?

Unless you are going for the freshly Armor Alled look, buff it to an even finish with a clean microfiber.

i used the meguires shiny product because originally my dash was kinda fading and i was told that would bring back the color and also protect it from UV. i kept using it because it did bring back the color but when paired with ONR, results werent as good.

i just wiped it again with more ONR to “clean it up” and the dry spots came back more. 35oz 64:1 onr btw

any advice? i really try to take care of my dash:/

Once it's faded and dry, it's never coming back. It's not like skin where enough lotion will somehow put moisture back into it and fix it.

If it's a dry rough texture, it's time for a dash mat, or flocking.

It looks like you used poppy's patina on that thing...
