Oil and oil based cleaners are extremely bad for plastic, vinyl, and especially leather dashes. As an experienced auto detailer, I was taught to use water based cleaners. The reason being because the UVA and UVB rays from the sun will fry your dash like an egg and eventually burn it, causing cracks and even shrinkage, which promotes cracking. Also, most new dashes are not lustrous, but rather matte in appearance; Leather is also matte in appearance when new.
Joe L, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! For best results add a dash of lemon juice and ONLY marinate for 4 hours. If you lay a slice of pizza on the dahboard, by late evening you'll enjoy "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" (make sure your girlfirend is there with you).
Well, apparently , when running you should breathe air in through the nose and expel it through the mouth. Some people don't know that ( or don't do it).
Spot on. I have been using Coconut oil in my cars for decades. No cracks or tears. The leather is nice and soft, looks like new and smells great, like a trip to the beach. Cheers mate.
When I clean my dashboard with olive oil, when & if I manage to park in the sun for two, three or more hours, All I need do is add 3 gloves fresh chopped garlic, spread italian cheese, onion, diced green & or red pepper, green & or black olives, mushrooms, basil & anchovies on oiled dashboard, leave windows up and solar heat to 110 degrees for 90 minuets……WOW talk about a great topping combo for the pizza & bread sticks I was cooking on the hot engine block…… Works best with longer periods of vehicle operation!
When my dash looks bad, I use a stick of butter on it. My car smells wonderful and I can make toast on my dash while I'm in the store. I also like to lubricate my door hinges with raw bacon. Quiets them squeaks right away. And when my seats get a little stinky I spread cake batter on them. So much better that those nasty trees hanging from the mirror.
The best thing I've found for the interior of cars is petroleum jelly. Very small amount and rub it in very well, protects from uv rays and keeps the dashboard from cracking.
IRTEHLEETOKNPBB of course I have.. why do you think I left that comment?.. I've seen roaches in lots of cars..specially in cars where there's left over french fries or any kind of food.
You are right and the pesticides will ensure you don't get an infestation of insects, the downside is your dashboard will eventually come down with cancer.
Way to go, not only did you grease up your leather, but on hot summer days, its gonna heat up your dash even more and crack it. Why not put it on your steering wheel as well? Go ahead and make it shiny and slippery like the rest of the car and turn it into a hazard.
Using an organic oil is a bad idea, this guy is pretty good but not this time. Organic oil will become rancid after a while and start to smell pretty ordinary, that's just a start. I wouldn't do this.
Cool, now I can have a non-stick dashboard to fry some eggs on in the sun and save on energy costs. I'll use a silicone coated spatula so I won't want to scratch up my dashboard.
A better idea would be lemon oil, because it would smell way better and isn't as thick and greasy as olive oil. plus olive oil is expensive anyways, the "chemicals" can't be that far off in price.
Adrian Bugajski He was rubbing it on his dash, im talking plastic stuff, i wouldn't use either lemon oil or olive oil on my leather seats and have to sit in that...
soon as the heat evaporates the oil you will have a film of olive oil on all of your windows and then dust will cling to it and you'll be driving blind lol
ok, usually you have some pretty good tips. but this is not a good idea lol. it will smell bad over time and if you touch it it will leave a stain you cant get rid of.... and probably attract all kinds of bugs.
Just use Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant. It smells nice, has UV protectant (which means it won't bake in the sun and release fumes), and is water based so it won't dry out your interior or attract even more dust like olive oil will. Plus it's only $4 on Amazon.
Although leather does indeed become a little suppler after applying olive oil, this instant gratification comes with a price. Olive oil, and every oily substance for that matter, will not "nourish" your leather, but actually accelerate its deterioration. Leather is extremely permeable, and will soak up any oils you put on it. When oil first saturates leather, it seeps to the back-to the part you can't see. Eventually, the oil ends up spreading throughout the leather and naturally resurfaces. Once this happens, your leather will have unsightly oil spots. That's not good. We love our clever, DIY cleaning solutions, but sometimes they're not quite as good as they seem. That's the case with oil, or oily substances like peanut butter. Keep them off your couches, shoes, and other leather. Do not use olive oil to fix your leather!
Great idea. Plus there's an added bonus. On really hot days that would fry an egg on your dashboard, you actually can fry an egg on your dashboard - *_without it sticking._* Much more healthy than frying with butter. ;-)
For real leather (not vinyl), the leather must be cleaned with glycerine-based leather cleaners or ph-balanced cleaners such as fiebing's or lexol. Follow up with oil, such as neatsfoot (or mink, if you're rich, lol). This will prevent the leather from absorbing water and cracking as well as keep the leather softened, further extending the life of your seats.
maybe u should check stuff before u tell like 100k pepole who are watching this vid that u should put oild on ur dashboard cz oil will just attract MORE dust and its only gonna be shiny for like a few days
smamsp He sounds pretty mad. Especially for being absolutely wrong. ***** Olive oil is an oil… Oil is flammable. I'm assuming your dumb ass just tried to drop a lit cigarette in some olive oil to test it out? Also, simmer down buddy, i'm sure you feel real tough behind that keyboard of yours, however, you're not impressing anybody.
When have you ever gone into a car dealership, looked on the showroom and see a shiny dash? You might as well rub baby oil on it. Be sure to enjoy the reflective glare that goes right in your eyes when it's sunny. Additionally, it offer absolutely no protection from the sunlight and will actually accelerate fading/cracking. This is also before you even think about it being a dust magnet, of which you'll just end up rubbing in into your dash (like fine sandpaper) and it just goes downhill from there. Use a product that hydrates your dash, offers UV protection and gives it a deep color with a matte/satin finish. It should also be dry to the touch. I use Lucas Speed Wax/Quick Detailer since it smells great, protects and contains a small amount of wax. This allows for dust to settle on top (because it's inevitable) and can be wiped away by a duster or Swiffer without damage.
So now your car will smell like the Deli Counter at Whole Foods. Hehe. Actually, to be more accurate, you aren't cleaning to dashboard. You are covering it in a thin film of Olive Oil which is restoring the shine. There must be a better substance to use that won't make your car smell like salad dressing?
Yeh its True it works & yes after a while it will attract dust but any kind of Dish Soap Will Deactivate the Oily base as a way to get it off Don't put it on the rim off the steering wheel because it is very slippery & can cause you to slip while operating the vehicle so just use it for the dash or the doors :) & the center console
1. Olive oil is not very cheap 2. The oil will attract dust 3. The leather may crack 4. Most chemicals smell like lemons, flowers, etc. 5. Olive oil smells like a fucking salad 6 your hands have oil in them, why add more? 7. Oily texture will feel wired and gross 8. The chemicals are all safe 9. People are hungry and starving, feed them 10. This idea wastes time, money and attention span, which I am running put of as I type. 😒
***** A liter is fairly small. You can get cleaners that contain two times more volume, with half the cost. We should also support our own economy rather that Italy etc... after all we don need it.
From the BMW i3 brochure..... The leather used in the interior is tanned with a natural tanning agent derived from olive leaves. The extract from the leaves of the olive tree protects the leather in a natural way - giving it both an authentic, unaltered look and an unmistakeable character.
I did this a few years ago and regretted it, the surface area became a dust/dirt magnetc and had an uneven shine which looked worse. The oil in a hot climate goes rancid pretty quick. I love your videos and enjot them enormously however I would never do this one again.
So try it and you might be happy with it. I guess the outcome depends on a variety of factors. I regretted doing it in my Jaguar and wouldn't do it in my current vehicle.
If you want something that's natural, highly moisturising, totally non greasy, wont create a dust magnet and gives a very subtly rich, deep, low gloss shine, save your banana skins and rub it on your dashboards. Looks superb and no dust build-up. Fragrant banana aroma.
This is a great idea! Armorall or other products like it are full of alcohol among other things and it will dry out your dashboard and eventually make it crack. So that stuff isn't good for your car at all. Olive oil is a natural substance and it won't make your dash dry out and crack in the heat. Good stuff, thanks for posting!
Jack Sainthill Different kind of alcohol, but either way they are both astringents and they will dry out your dash. Armor All is better for your tires mostly.
Love your accent, and I like the method you used. I've used Coconut oil before but the Olive oil seem to penetrate the leather better. Thanks for sharing.
Its not cleaning by any means, but if you are going to "USE" a oil to supposedly clean your car dashboard, use something like a mineral oil as opposed to olive oil which will start to go stale and rancid after some time.
Aaron Mah yes, because he's obviously saying to use a huge amount of olive oil and leaving it sitting in a puddle on the dash. Also not like olive oil has antioxidant properties. Treating leather with oil has definitely not been being done for longer than either of us have been alive......
It doesn't have to be a "giant" puddle or a little smear, its still going to go rancid after awhile. I work in a kitchen in a hotel and when we season our woks/heavy duty pans, we don't use olive oil or canola oil, we use mineral oil because we know when we put it in storage it won't go scummy or rancid after awhile. Same thing for leather, you don't use olive oil.
Aaron Mah A light amount of olive oil redone every month or so is not going to go rancid, and the reason you don't season a pan with olive oil is because of it's low smoke temp. I was actually a chef before the world of restaurants drove me insane and decided I'd never work in a kitchen again. Way too much drama and BS for not enough pay. That doesn't really matter though.... Anyway, in storage for long periods of time, it would go stale, but lightly on a surface exposed to plenty of air circulation, sunlight, etc. it would evaporate off before it went rancid, and it can easily work even better if you add a couple drops of essential oil to the oil. Mineral oil would work too though, and probably better, but that doesn't mean olive oil wouldn't work. I'm honestly not sure why I'm even typing this right now, it may be the large quantities of caffeine over the past few hours, or that I'm waiting for my wife to get off the phone so I'm bored, I don't know.
