Hi guys,

one thing that always annoyed me about my 2007 corolla is the dashboard. The dealership i bought it from must have applied some stuff to make it shine...but i hate it. It kinda blocks your view and its all greasy.

I tried wiping it with Pine-o-clean which made some grease go away. But the shine is still there. Anyone got tips on how to get rid of this?

Thanks.

Clean it with some water with a little bit of dish-washing detergent mixed in. This will help strip the oils off it. I would highly suggest going over it again though with a low gloss dash protector like Meguiar's Gold Class Dash & Trim Foam Protectant.

Otherwise, polarised sunglasses make a huge difference.

ok, so my little fix worked.

Terry Towel Cloth, & Mother's showtime: This removed all the shiny ugly stuff from the dash (i'm guessing amour all *sick*)

Terry Towel Cloth & Mother Dash Protector : Applied about 2-3 times as the plastics just soaked it up until it a nice matte finish :)

Sorry, no pics

just wondering for zre dash, what would be the best cleaning products to put on it ?

MC, This comes down to a personal preference in cleaning products. i use all mothers gear and dont a have a problem with them (used to fix the OP's issue)

Stay away from amour all, otherwise any other product should be.

Meguiars interior detail for me, no glossy finish, just clean especially with that weird powdery feel and scratch prone dash..

Armour all pfft that's soooo last season :lol:

      Long start time when engine warm - 2004 Corolla

      Hi guys, I’m a long time Toyota owner, and am currently enjoying a 2004 Corolla Wagon with the 1.8 1ZZ-FE. The car starts and drives really well, however during warm starts (after sitting for 5 minutes) the car cranks for around 6-8 seconds before starting. It’s worth noting the following: - The car starts right away in the morning or if it hasn’t been driven for a couple of hours. - There is no indication of rough idle or fluctuations when driving - Outside air temperature doesn’t seem to make a difference I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this issue? I’m leaning towards vapour lock in the fuel rail caused by leaky injectors? I’d appreciate any advice or if anyone has had a similar issue with their car. Thanks very much in advance, Oakley

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Hi gillystylez, the link for your car and stereo is https://aerpro.com/vehicles/toyota/toyota-rav4-2013 I am not to sure with yours but you will need the APP9 Harness and Patch Lead, double DIN facia plate, possibly the T Harness (for adding aftermarket bluetooth car kits), double check with a supplier of the kits (Super Cheap, Repco...) to make sure of what you will need and get a quote on fitment or harness. I had to buy HEAPS more cables with the JVC unit and it was very expensive. Hope that helps!

      Brand new Prado 2022 with intermittent engine/transmission stutter

      Gday Doug (600C), I have a 2023 GXL that from new that has a ‘whoo-whoo’ sound at similiar revs that you describe. Its most anoying at 75km/hour in top gear under load ie. up a slight hill. Toyota guy cant give an explaination but says he drove another one with only 1000kms on the clock and did the same. Have you found a cure or diagnosis at all?

      Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator

      I immediately thought of sound deadener material which is available from JayCar as a potential solution. https://www.jaycar.com.au/combination-butyl-foam-super-sound-deadener/p/AX3689

      Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator

      Hi, I've tried to get a hood insulator from Amayama OEM suppliers and Sydney wreckers with no luck. Wreckers usually sell hoods/bonnets with them attached. I called Toyota and unbelievably. they sell them for $700 plus. Is there a way to repair? or get some insulator material to make my own? My one is crumbling and cracked.

      Prado 2012 Issues starting first time, sometimes

      Hi all, For some reason my 2012 Prado is having dramas starting first time every so often. Regularly serviced 192k KMs. Sounds really rough during initial failed attempt to start. Then on second attempt will start fine no drama's. Sometimes I can hear a little bit of that initial struggle during a cold start and will still start. Everything else seems to be running fine. Thinking it could be a fob or immobiliser issue? Have had the same result with both main and spare key fob. Booked mechanic in a couple of weeks for diagnosis but hoping to point him in the right direction. First video is the no start and the second is immediately after appearing fine. Cheers! cold start fail.mp4 success.mp4
