I came across this today...................

Are You Using This Top Secret Dashboard Cleaner?
By D.G. Sciortino

https://www.familyhandyman.com/artic...MagStatus=NONE

"........ The good news is that you don’t have to, because the perfect polish for your car’s dashboard is already in your cupboard."

"A little oil from the kitchen will make your dashboard look as new as the day you drove it off the lot."

"Using oil eliminates the funky stench caused by chemical cleaners. It also saves you money when it comes to cleaning your car’s interiors..............So, using oil on your dashboard is good for your car, your wallet, and the environment!"

"Test this out on a small unnoticeable area first to make sure that no discoloration occurs and that you’re pleased with the results. Natural oils will actively restore shine while conditioning the surface of your dashboard while also helping prevent cracking and fading caused by UV rays."




Lol! So instead of a "funky" chemical stench, your car can smell like a deep fryer! And what happens if the oil discolors your dashboard, I doubt Coles will help you out on that one when you explain what happened. And restoring "shine" to an interior? Yeah, no thanks.



A little more about Ms. Sciortino..................

"D.G. has more than a decade of experience as a spirited writer, journalist, and digital media specialist. She enjoys writing content that inspires people to love and live their best lives."



So, no decade of experience detailing cars, but she's more than happy to "inspire" people to go out and ruin their dashboard with vegetable oil. Not sure that's worth loving or living a best life for.

Typical of a paid journalist who is being told to produce a stream of written online content on topics they have no idea about, or care what that advice might lead too.
