UV Wood Dash Protection?

[astrowunder]

I've had my P3D for a week. The wood dash is nice, but I'm concerned about its long term exposure to sunlight. I don't really want a driftwood dash. Has anyone mentioned UV protection? I searched but didn't see anything in these forums. Here's a product from amazon with high reviews that I'm considering.

Also, if Kenriko ever releases a black metallic wrap, I'm all in.

All of the windows are UV coated to protect everything in the interior — seats, plastic, wood, electronics, humans. You don't need the extra protection.

Really? I thought only the top window was UV coated.

They all are, which is why you don't get a sunburn driving your car for an hour on a sunny day

Great- thanks for the info.

I’d like to know more about the wood on my 3 dashboard. Although there is UV protection, the dryness of the air in Arizona affects even solid wood furniture inside the home. Does anybody know what kind of wood it is, what is the thickness of the veneer, and what substrate it’s mounted on? Thanks!

Also, has anyone tried any kind of oil/beeswax preparation, like 'Finish Feeder' or some other product that's made for wood furniture?

I bought one of these: Windshield Sun Shades, Car Window Shades and Car Window Covers by HeatShield: The Original Windshield Sun Shade

Easy to put in place and gets the job done.
