The wood on your dash is not finished any differently than the wood in your 
furniture in your house.  It's just walnut (or ???) that's been sanded smooth, 
then sealed with varnish.  I use home products that I trust on the dash of my 
'6 with good results.  I usually use Scott's Liquid Gold (tm) to clean the dash 
and give it some "oil", and Pledge or Endust as a "quickie" between times when 
it's just a little dull and dusty.

There's one more trick I've heard of - use a sun block (high SPF number) on the 
dash vinyl to keep it from getting brittle and cracking from UV exposure.  It 
makes sense I guess.

I noticed that my wood on my 1966 TR4A is looking a little dull. What is the
best stuff to protect the wood and make it look sharpe.

Got a show this weekend and I need to make the TR look good.

Any suggestions?
