@BigDaddy72 Have you had any experience with Padded dashes on Tri-five Chevys. I have one in my 56 Nomad that I need to clean and somehow preserve? Any ideas??... Any one???

I covered the dash on my 55 150 2dr post.

Is yours factory padded or something someone made?

@BigDaddy72 , It's a factory padded dash, kind of a grainey texture. Looks VERY hard to clean up and then what to keep it looking good? Afraid to try anything on it for fear of screwing it up!! Any ideas??

The dash looks great. I'll probably get mine redone like that instead of buying a new aftermarket.. Keep up the great work!

Try scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner on a small spot.

Spray it on a micro fiber not on the dash.

If all goes well, blow the dust and debris off then lightly clean it with the sb after you are finished and wiped dry apply any leather conditioner to another micro fiber and gently saturate the material.

Let it sit over night and wipe off any excess. If it’s dry then reapply and repeat until it leaves a bit of the conditioner on top of the dash.

It will absorb what it needs.

OK, thanks for the reply. Do you have a favorite brand of leather conditioner? I will try this in the next week or so. Thanks again, Travis @BigDaddy72

This is the seat for the 67 short wide I did the door panels and headliner for.

The bottom seat frame and springs are HAMMERED so the custom cover isn’t installed on it yet.
