- The Sticky Dash Fix is an effective, easy and permanent two-step, do-it-yourself Dashboard repair solution. stickydashfix.com
Step 1. A Surface Cleaner, formulated to quickly and easily remove sticky plasticizers, dirt and debris, is applied to prepare the Dashboard surface.
Step 2. A Surface Coating is applied which bonds to the Dashboard surface to form a thin, yet strong and flexible membrane, which after a number of light coats, effectively seals the surface. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks for your order. We are more concerned with applying the Surface Coating in direct sunlight. The curved glass sections of the windscreen can magnify direct sunlight and cause the Surface Coating to dry too quickly. The product is water-based and can be thinned with water (10-20%) to slow drying time.
1:25 what is being used to fill gouges and scratches? Is it included in the kit? I don't see a filler listed in the kit, or did I miss it? I have quite a few to fill, so I'll need to know this before I move forward. Thank you.
My daughter transformed the dashboard on her camry with this and she is so happy!
Thanks Martha! that's great to hear. Keep an eye on it over time - some of the Camry dashboards can be particularly bad in the areas closest to the windscreen and we recommend retaining the left-over Surface Coating in case any touch-ups are required in the future to completely overcome the defect. Best Regards, SDF.
I purchased this product for use on my 2007 Toyota Camry and I am sorry to say it was a complete failure. Everything was neatly packaged with clear instructions. But the application of the cleaner left my dash as sticky as other. I was hoping for better.
Ah, this is my exact car and I really want to clean this properly... so this is good to know.
Thanks for the info!
The product, not only can fix a sticky dash but if your dash is a little tired and needs a refresh, well, this product will make it look brand new, just amazing, I even had a few small hairline cracks, not that the product recommends being used to fix this but it sure did, a terrific result
Is there a preferred temperature outside to perform the fix? (Just ordered some)
I used this on my car Lexus. Ended up using 1.5 bottles of the stuff to finally get rid of the stickiness. Not sure if I just needed that may layers or if I didn't apply enough layers in a single go with the fist bottle and that allowed oil to permeate through the layers, requiring further application. When I got the 2nd bottle, I put on 3 layers over the course of 2 hours and that did the trick.

Still wondering this myself
Sticky Dash Fix - Filler/Surface Stabilizer which uses the same resin-system as the Surface Coating to ensure compatibility and flexibility.
The Sticky Dash Fix - Filler/Surface Stabilizer is not included in the pack; I just looked it up on their website; the stabilizer is $9.95 for a 50 ml/3.52 fl oz bottle.
where will i be looking to buy this? my 14 year old camry decided its dash wants to crack up and be sticky
Just came in today 28 days to be exact but what u expect when it’s coming to PhX Arizona product can’t be purchase anywhere else but there site. Just waiting to buy a filler to get this done perfect 👌🏽
Thanks Kelvin, Any filler should work fine, so long as it's water-based and flexible. Put down a light coat or two before you apply the filler as this will provide a chemical resistant layer between the dashboard and the filler. You can also mix some Surface Coating with the filler to improve the flexibility, chemical resistance and compatibility of the filler.
how do you keep it clean after applying? Do u just use the regular dash cleaners?
I just saw your video on how to clean and fix the cracks in these type of dashboards. I have a Nissan Altima 2010 and throughout time, I've been seeing these cracks along the trim lines and on the passenger side. I live in a city where hot weather is very common. And usually the surface feels sticky to when I try to wipe off the dust n debris. The fibers from the cloth stick. Will this is stuff help to fill the cracks and not make the surface so sticky? I'm guessing I have to get a filler to fill in the cracks first before applying this stuff. Where can I find fillers? Sorry if I'm asking too much I just don't know much about this kind of stuff.
look on ebay for a plastic altima dash cap. theyre like 250$ but they go over the existing dash and make it look factory new again and wont crack like the original.
WoW, what a product, so easy to use / apply and incredible results, I had thought my car was a goner with the dash in such a sticky state, this product just worked, after the first thin coat, and after three more it was back to a brand new standard, wow, just awesome
Are you a real customer or a paid one? I want something to really fix my problems and want a product that really works. So your honesty would be appreciated
@lonbites965 I'm a real customer, product works a treat, easy to apply and great results
@@ainsley7662 how many coats did you have to do? And how long in between time to add another coat?
@lonbites965 3 or 4 coats, applied when touch dry ie 10 minutes or so
@@ainsley7662 so buying one product should be enough for my Camry?
Purchased this a few months ago for a 2007 Camry with a black dash. My dash would get very soft if I left it out in the direct sun but not sticky or have dirt stick to it and was always easy to clean. I park inside a garage for work and home so it’s not out much in direct sunlight and heat but I live here in Miami.
So I did this as preventative maintenance before it got worse and therefore was not easy mentally to try and fix something that really was not fully broken. Used foam brushes but they left streaky marks after 3 coats. Next day I got a roller brush. Night and day difference how easily it applies with a roller brush and absolutely no streaking. It’s a dead on match to the original trim. Fairy easy to apply but only need fairly thin coats as in some places I would see it pool like somehow it was growing pools but not in areas where paint might drain too. So there it is necessary after applying with the roller brush to smooth out the areas it was pooling.
Very impressed with the feel and look of the finished product.
Ya all chemical engineers did a GREAT job!!! Thanks
Hi Robert, Thank you very much - not many people take the time to share their feedback, it's very much appreciated!
Now that’s it’s been 3 years how does it look on this current car now?
DAMN!! Wish I would have had this for my 2007 Altima's dash
It's never too late!
I’m gonna try this with my 2009 Nissan Altima dash it needs it
I gonna try with my nissan altima 2008, but I want to be sure if it works..
Is this work well for Lexus IS250? (2008)
Would it be better to apply the protection in a circular motion to avoid streaks?
Hi Hayden, By demand, the Surface Coating is very matte and we recently discovered that using a damp micro-fiber cloth to wipe away any brush marks or streaks, while the Surface Coating is wet - works a treat. The micro-fiber cloth which is included in the kit can be rinsed out after being used to clean the dashboard surface and then used to wipe away any lines. Customers have also had great results using a small micro-fiber roller.
HI, I only have a small area of stickiness, but my main concerns are the cracking around the seams of the dash. Will your product help with that or do you sell a product for this issue? Or do you know of one? I have a 2011 Nissan Altima. Thank you for your reply.
Thanks for your question. It sounds like the adhesive under the top material of your dashboard has mostly migrated downwards into the foam layer below - causing the top material to become brittle and crack as the dashboard expands and contracts. Due to demand, we now produce our own "Filler/Surface Stabilizer" product which uses the same resin-system as our Surface Coating to repair cracks.
@@3dformulations383 Wonderful! Thanks so much for the reply. What is your website?
@@hoppas77 Our website is: stickydashfix.com
@@3dformulations383 where do I order the filler as I don't see it on your website?
@@assholesplace Thanks for your message. We now include some of the Flexible Filler product with each kit. Best Regards, the SDF team.
Very impressive product.
what is the white product you used to fill the gouges and scratches?
Myself I used SUGRU glue putty
Toyota should have a recall on this. My 2011 Camry has this problem. It’s a safety hazard. Even my 1995 Acura doesn’t have this problem.
Turn your demist on and apply talc. Buy a custom made dash mat online. Problem solved. I live in the Pilbara where outside temperatures can reach 46c so inside is a furnace. I did this fix 3 yrs ago and the dash under the mat is still smooth.
Can this be used of glove compartment cover or is it only for dashboard?
Yes, it can. Often, the glove compartment and lower sections trim sections are made from the same materials as the dashboard.
Is one kit enough to do the dashboard and door panels of my Lexus is250?
Hi Damenain, We offer the option to purchase an additional bottle of Surface Coating with your kit, should you need to treat your door trims too.
Many people are asking this in the comments. The Sticky Dash Fix - Filler/Surface Stabilizer that fills in the cracks is not included in the pack, which is $49.95 on the website; the stabilizer is $9.95 for a 50 ml/3.52 fl oz bottle.
Thank you, I can’t believe it doesn’t already come with the kit or offered as a bundle when purchasing the kit.
@@Jioaa1988 I just bought the kit, along with the stabilizer; as soon as I apply it, I'll leave a review here.
@@theresak4343update??
@@JoseAlvarado-nk5rb I just applied this product on Thursday; the stickiness is gone, and most importantly, the glare is gone, I was relieved; however, the Sticky Dash Filler that I bought separately didn't work as I expected; I tried to apply with my finger, with a brush, and with a dabber, and every time I wiped a bit, it didn't fill the small holes on the dash; but you know what, that is really not important to me, the glare and stickiness were the reasons I bought this product; I recommend it for anyone with this problem.
@@theresak4343?
Do you ship to Argentina?
What if your dash is only melting and doesn't have chips and holes
Do i still need to use both products
Mike, I'm glad to hear that you're Dashboard isn't too bad. You won't need to use any filling product, but you will still need to use our Surface Cleaner before applying the Surface Coating.
Is it work ?
What do you use to fill in the scratches
Thanks for your question!
We recommend applying a few light coats first and then assess if it's worth attempting to fill any gouges, sometimes filling larger gouges can make the repair obvious, because it's difficult to match the dashboard texture. We don't recommend any particular hardware-store filler brand, so long as it's water-based and reasonably flexible. You could also try mixing the Surface Coating with a suitable filler to improve flexibility and compatibility of a filler.
You are very welcome to send some pictures of your dashboard to our Product Developer, his email address is derek@3dformulations.com.au and he will give you an honest opinion of the results that you can expect in addition to any advice and tips.

Where can I buy this stuff at? I didn't see any links in the description.
Hi Gary, Our website store is: stickydashfix.com
What are you using to fill holes and cuts. I just got my shipment today and I have no idea what to use to fill
Eli - Any flexible filler (preferably water-based) from a hardware store will work fine. Use the filler AFTER you have applied a few coats of the Surface Coating as this will provide a chemical-resistant barrier between the defective Dashboard surface and the filler. The Surface Coating is then applied over the top once the filler product has dried. By applying the Surface Coating first, you will also get a better perspective of the renewed appearance of the Dashboard and whether or not to fill any holes or scratches - we feel that sometimes filling some imperfections can draw more attention to them and "less is more".
3d formulations thank you!!!
Eli’s Experience how did it work out?
@@elisexperience2915 what did you use as a filler if you used one??
@@caramellohoney I have yet to get to this project yet I’m going to buy regular all weather caulking from Home Depot. Let it do it’s thing and dry and then paint it after

Will this product also help reduce the glare (our dash, in a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, is very shiny, and melted) ?
Hi Jesse, Yes the Surface Coating dries to the correct matte finish. You'll find lots more information at: stickydashfix.com

The weather is so hot, I went to buy some pizza and just put the box on top of it for about 5 min while I grabbed a bite and it melted…. 😞 now it has some holes, bumps and types of scratches lines because of the pizza box… So does it really work???
Hi Elyna, I'm sorry to hear about your experience, we have seen the same happen when lifting up dash mats that have stuck to the surface over time. We have developed our own flexible filler product which uses the same resin-system as our Surface Coating - this will help in restoring some of the damage. Regards, the SDF team.

Hi there I am looking at one these kits for my lexus IS. Will the dash kit be enough for just the dash.. do I need to order another kit for treating door panels also? Thanks
Hi CC Nz, There is an option to purchase a subsidized extra bottle of the Surface Coating when you checkout. You can also dilute the Surface Coating by 10% with clean water, to make the product go further.
I have an 08 Nissan Altima in need of this. Can't find the product for my car.

Saw a few comments on Facebook about shipping delay
Yes, there were delays last year during the beginning of the pandemic. Australia's international border was shut off to the rest of the world and there were very limited freight planes to and from Australia. Thankfully shipping times have greatly improved since then.
I know of 4 people that didn’t have an issue with there dashboard until after the time period allowed 2017. It all started in 2018 and 2019 . There got to be a solution to the sticky cracking dashboard . Does anyone have a 3D printer?

What product do you suggest when it comes to filling dashboard scratches and gouges?
We receive many requests for recommendations regarding a suitable flexible filler to fill cracks and gouges, so we decided recently to create our own. Our Flexible Filler product uses the same resin system as the Surface Coating so it is compatible, extremely flexible and provides a strong, chemical resistant barrier. But here's the kicker; it's color-matched like the Surface Coating and doesn't require sanding - once the filler is dry, rubbing alcohol can be used to "sculpt" the filler and wipe any excess product away.
@@3dformulations383 not entirely helpful since you don't have said product on sale.

I have applied..tried to avoid brush marks. No stick upon first application which is great but it does look terrible. Lots of brush strokes all over. Is there anyway to improve this??
Hi Ryan, There is a trouble-shooting section on the back of the instruction booklet. As per the instructions, patchiness and brush strokes can be corrected by using the flat side of the foam applicator brush to apply a light coat, over the patchy areas, using a "dabbing" motion. The foam brushes provided with The Kit are good for reaching into the areas closest to the windscreen, but can leave brush marks. It is also possible, that even after cleaning with the Surface Cleaner, there is residue left from another cleaner or past dashboard dressing or detailing product. The Surface Coating contains a nano-particle matting agent which rises to the surface to diffuse light and some contaminants such as silicone can cause the particles to disperse unevenly causing a patchy finish.

Can i use a sprayer to apply the second coat, so as not to show brush strokes?
Hi Shah, I don't think spraying is necessary - brush strokes can be dealt with simply by using a piece of sponge to apply a light coat using a "dabbing" motion to even out the finish. The foam brushes supplied with the kit do a good job at reaching into the difficult areas closest to the windscreen, but can leave some brush marks sometimes.

My windshield is hard to see out of sometimes from this sticky shit. My dumbass left my car w out a windshield protector when I deployed and I’m gonna buy this product. I almost died the other day and that was the last straw. Fixing this ASAP w this product
Hi Francisco, I read the windshield protector would not help this manufactured defect. If all of your windows are closed, it will still get too hot inside the car. I think Toyota should back this problem and replace the dashboards. The glare is extremely dangerous. My 2008 Camry has had several recalls on it. Remember when the Toyota floor mats were getting stuck under the gas pedal. Several people lost their lives because of that defect. The company should be mandated to fix their defect.
Don't blame your "dumbass." It takes longer than one deployment for this to happen. I know from experience.

Please, save your money. The product does not work. I applied it several times and today I took my car for a ride after the winter and as soon as the sun hit the dash it started to shine and get sticky. I had some hope with this product but it did not fullfill my expectations.
Dear M Perez,
We have helped thousands of motorists world-wide rectify their defective dashboards - something that the vehicle manufacturers couldn't or wouldn't do.
As stated on our website:
"The Surface Coating is a permanent product - however, every dashboard will be in different in condition. The same applies to the various makes and models affected by the defect. The chemical reaction occurring on some dashboards can be very aggressive and over the long term, may require additional coats or touch-ups. Some areas closest to the windscreen and the instrument hood may require more coats to permanently overcome the adhesive. We recommend retaining left-over product in case touch-ups are required in the future".
We want every customer to get a great result and are prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve this. Rather than leaving comments, please email our Product Developer derek@3dformulations.com.au with your Order# and some pictures of your dashboard and I think you'll find he'll be very pleased to re-instate your hope in the product.
The SDF Team.
