If anyone is concerned about a cracking dash in 2019, use a UV protectant or tint your windows.
I highly suggest staying away from any petroleum based product for your trim and tires. You want something that will provide UV protection and won't break down the plastic over time. 303 Products are fantastic and will extend the life of your plastic trim, tires, and rubber.

Which one do you all prefer???
You can use this stuff. The guys over at /r/autodetailing rave about it.
My top was kinda doing the same, the gray was dust.
So I looked for advice and decided to get Roll-Off and then 303 Protectorant.
I washed the top with car soap and rinsed, then I scrubbed it with a horsehair brush and the Roll-Off, and rinsed it and dried it. After that I got a detail rag and then sprayed a generous amount of the 303 Protecterant and wiped it all over. It looks really nice now and the dark color is back.

Do you mean the 303 protectant, or an interior cleaner from 303?
Just asking because you may mentioned cleaner, so you might be comparing apples to oranges... explaining such a gap in performance.
303 and done
best there is. . Significantly better that armor all products in my opinion.

anyone try 303's UV protectant?
​
also if i use the regular 303 and buy by the gallon there isnt anything inherently special about the spray bottle correct? gallon is $37 while 32oz spraybottle is $20...
K I've read several people use that car guys super cleaner. Is that all you put on your interior ever or do I need to add a UV protector after like 303 UV protectant?

I use Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax every 2-3 months. I wash with Meguiars Wash & Wax in the winter or Gold Class during the rest of the year and then finish with X-Press Spray Wax to refresh my wax coat after every wash. I’ve found that Ford paint/clear coat absolutely loves Meguiars formulas and the routine I use keeps all my Fords shining like wet glass. I don’t use paste waxes or ceramic coatings anymore because they’re such a pain to remove when it’s time to reapply. Liquid wax goes on easy, shines for 2-3 months, and then comes of just as easy so it saves you a ton of time when you have two or three cars in your household to maintain.
Most wheel stuff is pretty much the same but I use Meguiars Hot Rims on my wheels and Hot Shine on my tires around once a month or after every other wash and it keeps them shining beautifully. Keeping a coat of Hot Rims on the wheels prevents brake dust from bonding to them so you can just spray them off to keep them clean between applications.
For my black plastic trim and weather stripping I use 303 Aerospace Protectant once in the fall and once in the spring and it keeps it looking like new plastic and not greasy or overly shiny. The 303 has UV protection that prevents fading as well.
Hope this helps! This isn't an exhaustive list of the best professional products but some of the best top rated affordable and highly rated by forums and high subscriber YouTubers. I'll try to answer questions as they come. Thanks for all tye comments and positive/critical feedback. Promise is all helps in the end!

Use Meguiar's for the seats every few months.

Wash is, you guessed it, a Meguiar's product.

Dash protectant, I use 303.

Now, for washing, you want to always use (2) buckets, each with a grit-guard at the bottom. One bucket is a rinse bucket for your cleaning mitt. You dip your wash mitt in the rinse bucket (which is just water) before dipping into the soap bucket each time you do a different section of the car. Helps to minimize swirling and contaminants ruining your paint.
Don't go in a swirling pattern when washing the car, instead, go in straight lines back and forth.
After rinsing the car down, take your drying towel and lightly drag it in straight lines across the difference sections of the car. You don't need to apply pressure, just let it lightly drag across the car. You will see a light layer of water left after dragging the towel across. That's fine, it will dry quickly and gives the towel some lubrication which also minimizes scratching.
I had this problem as well, took it back to the dealer and had them get it off (unfortunately I can’t remember exactly what they did). Once it was off you could still see the faded outlines, so I applied 303 UV Protectant on it every couple of weeks since then and the marks have completely gone away.
Here's my post from a few months back...
for vegan leather seats, this is exactly what you want:

Even with this my driver side left leg-bolster is showing quite a bit of wear in 7k miles/10 months. All the leather in the car has a nice matte-finish but that bolster is very shiny and the texture has almost worn completely away from getting in/out of the car, pretty disappointed.
