Oil and oil based cleaners are extremely bad for plastic, vinyl, and especially leather dashes. As an experienced auto detailer, I was taught to use water based cleaners. The reason being because the UVA and UVB rays from the sun will fry your dash like an egg and eventually burn it, causing cracks and even shrinkage, which promotes cracking. Also, most new dashes are not lustrous, but rather matte in appearance; Leather is also matte in appearance when new.
Joe L, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! For best results add a dash of lemon juice and ONLY marinate for 4 hours. If you lay a slice of pizza on the dahboard, by late evening you'll enjoy "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" (make sure your girlfirend is there with you).
Spot on. I have been using Coconut oil in my cars for decades. No cracks or tears. The leather is nice and soft, looks like new and smells great, like a trip to the beach. Cheers mate.
A better idea would be lemon oil, because it would smell way better and isn't as thick and greasy as olive oil. plus olive oil is expensive anyways, the "chemicals" can't be that far off in price.
Adrian Bugajski He was rubbing it on his dash, im talking plastic stuff, i wouldn't use either lemon oil or olive oil on my leather seats and have to sit in that...
You are right and the pesticides will ensure you don't get an infestation of insects, the downside is your dashboard will eventually come down with cancer.
Although leather does indeed become a little suppler after applying olive oil, this instant gratification comes with a price. Olive oil, and every oily substance for that matter, will not "nourish" your leather, but actually accelerate its deterioration. Leather is extremely permeable, and will soak up any oils you put on it. When oil first saturates leather, it seeps to the back-to the part you can't see. Eventually, the oil ends up spreading throughout the leather and naturally resurfaces. Once this happens, your leather will have unsightly oil spots. That's not good. We love our clever, DIY cleaning solutions, but sometimes they're not quite as good as they seem. That's the case with oil, or oily substances like peanut butter. Keep them off your couches, shoes, and other leather. Do not use olive oil to fix your leather!
Just use Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant. It smells nice, has UV protectant (which means it won't bake in the sun and release fumes), and is water based so it won't dry out your interior or attract even more dust like olive oil will. Plus it's only $4 on Amazon.
When I clean my dashboard with olive oil, when & if I manage to park in the sun for two, three or more hours, All I need do is add 3 gloves fresh chopped garlic, spread italian cheese, onion, diced green & or red pepper, green & or black olives, mushrooms, basil & anchovies on oiled dashboard, leave windows up and solar heat to 110 degrees for 90 minuets……WOW talk about a great topping combo for the pizza & bread sticks I was cooking on the hot engine block…… Works best with longer periods of vehicle operation!
The best thing I've found for the interior of cars is petroleum jelly. Very small amount and rub it in very well, protects from uv rays and keeps the dashboard from cracking.
Way to go, not only did you grease up your leather, but on hot summer days, its gonna heat up your dash even more and crack it. Why not put it on your steering wheel as well? Go ahead and make it shiny and slippery like the rest of the car and turn it into a hazard.
Using an organic oil is a bad idea, this guy is pretty good but not this time. Organic oil will become rancid after a while and start to smell pretty ordinary, that's just a start. I wouldn't do this.
When my dash looks bad, I use a stick of butter on it. My car smells wonderful and I can make toast on my dash while I'm in the store. I also like to lubricate my door hinges with raw bacon. Quiets them squeaks right away. And when my seats get a little stinky I spread cake batter on them. So much better that those nasty trees hanging from the mirror.
Well, apparently , when running you should breathe air in through the nose and expel it through the mouth. Some people don't know that ( or don't do it).
I did this a few years ago and regretted it, the surface area became a dust/dirt magnetc and had an uneven shine which looked worse. The oil in a hot climate goes rancid pretty quick. I love your videos and enjot them enormously however I would never do this one again.
So try it and you might be happy with it. I guess the outcome depends on a variety of factors. I regretted doing it in my Jaguar and wouldn't do it in my current vehicle.
Cool, now I can have a non-stick dashboard to fry some eggs on in the sun and save on energy costs. I'll use a silicone coated spatula so I won't want to scratch up my dashboard.
Yeh its True it works & yes after a while it will attract dust but any kind of Dish Soap Will Deactivate the Oily base as a way to get it off Don't put it on the rim off the steering wheel because it is very slippery & can cause you to slip while operating the vehicle so just use it for the dash or the doors :) & the center console
IRTEHLEETOKNPBB of course I have.. why do you think I left that comment?.. I've seen roaches in lots of cars..specially in cars where there's left over french fries or any kind of food.
This is a terrible idea. Any oil-based cleaner actually attracts dust after you clean the item. I've used oil before on things and it's awful afterward.
ok, usually you have some pretty good tips. but this is not a good idea lol. it will smell bad over time and if you touch it it will leave a stain you cant get rid of.... and probably attract all kinds of bugs.
For real leather (not vinyl), the leather must be cleaned with glycerine-based leather cleaners or ph-balanced cleaners such as fiebing's or lexol. Follow up with oil, such as neatsfoot (or mink, if you're rich, lol). This will prevent the leather from absorbing water and cracking as well as keep the leather softened, further extending the life of your seats.
Its not cleaning by any means, but if you are going to "USE" a oil to supposedly clean your car dashboard, use something like a mineral oil as opposed to olive oil which will start to go stale and rancid after some time.
Aaron Mah yes, because he's obviously saying to use a huge amount of olive oil and leaving it sitting in a puddle on the dash. Also not like olive oil has antioxidant properties. Treating leather with oil has definitely not been being done for longer than either of us have been alive......
It doesn't have to be a "giant" puddle or a little smear, its still going to go rancid after awhile. I work in a kitchen in a hotel and when we season our woks/heavy duty pans, we don't use olive oil or canola oil, we use mineral oil because we know when we put it in storage it won't go scummy or rancid after awhile. Same thing for leather, you don't use olive oil.
Aaron Mah A light amount of olive oil redone every month or so is not going to go rancid, and the reason you don't season a pan with olive oil is because of it's low smoke temp. I was actually a chef before the world of restaurants drove me insane and decided I'd never work in a kitchen again. Way too much drama and BS for not enough pay. That doesn't really matter though.... Anyway, in storage for long periods of time, it would go stale, but lightly on a surface exposed to plenty of air circulation, sunlight, etc. it would evaporate off before it went rancid, and it can easily work even better if you add a couple drops of essential oil to the oil. Mineral oil would work too though, and probably better, but that doesn't mean olive oil wouldn't work. I'm honestly not sure why I'm even typing this right now, it may be the large quantities of caffeine over the past few hours, or that I'm waiting for my wife to get off the phone so I'm bored, I don't know.
maybe u should check stuff before u tell like 100k pepole who are watching this vid that u should put oild on ur dashboard cz oil will just attract MORE dust and its only gonna be shiny for like a few days
If you want something that's natural, highly moisturising, totally non greasy, wont create a dust magnet and gives a very subtly rich, deep, low gloss shine, save your banana skins and rub it on your dashboards. Looks superb and no dust build-up. Fragrant banana aroma.
Hi Good day. You have confirmed my thought about olive oil. But can olive oil be use on the rubber seals on the door.??? Will olive damage the rubber?? Thank you & have a nice day.
So now your car will smell like the Deli Counter at Whole Foods. Hehe. Actually, to be more accurate, you aren't cleaning to dashboard. You are covering it in a thin film of Olive Oil which is restoring the shine. There must be a better substance to use that won't make your car smell like salad dressing?
smamsp He sounds pretty mad. Especially for being absolutely wrong. ***** Olive oil is an oil… Oil is flammable. I'm assuming your dumb ass just tried to drop a lit cigarette in some olive oil to test it out? Also, simmer down buddy, i'm sure you feel real tough behind that keyboard of yours, however, you're not impressing anybody.
This is a great idea! Armorall or other products like it are full of alcohol among other things and it will dry out your dashboard and eventually make it crack. So that stuff isn't good for your car at all. Olive oil is a natural substance and it won't make your dash dry out and crack in the heat. Good stuff, thanks for posting!
Jack Sainthill Different kind of alcohol, but either way they are both astringents and they will dry out your dash. Armor All is better for your tires mostly.
It would probably smell divine if you soaked some garlic in the olive oil before using it. Then you could play some italian music very loudly while driving...
I love your vids but I see 2 big problems in this one. I cleaned professionally for years running my own cleaning company... automotive and high end houses. Any oil on a surface will be hard to clean off in the future... and it leaves a sticky coating behind that the dust will stick to... that is the first problem(s). The second problem is... it might smell nice now... but all that oil is going to go rancid over time. If you do this you will be surrounded by smelly rancid oil that has dirt stuck to it and is hard to clean off.
soon as the heat evaporates the oil you will have a film of olive oil on all of your windows and then dust will cling to it and you'll be driving blind lol
From the BMW i3 brochure..... The leather used in the interior is tanned with a natural tanning agent derived from olive leaves. The extract from the leaves of the olive tree protects the leather in a natural way - giving it both an authentic, unaltered look and an unmistakeable character.
Great idea. Plus there's an added bonus. On really hot days that would fry an egg on your dashboard, you actually can fry an egg on your dashboard - *_without it sticking._* Much more healthy than frying with butter. ;-)
When have you ever gone into a car dealership, looked on the showroom and see a shiny dash? You might as well rub baby oil on it. Be sure to enjoy the reflective glare that goes right in your eyes when it's sunny. Additionally, it offer absolutely no protection from the sunlight and will actually accelerate fading/cracking. This is also before you even think about it being a dust magnet, of which you'll just end up rubbing in into your dash (like fine sandpaper) and it just goes downhill from there. Use a product that hydrates your dash, offers UV protection and gives it a deep color with a matte/satin finish. It should also be dry to the touch. I use Lucas Speed Wax/Quick Detailer since it smells great, protects and contains a small amount of wax. This allows for dust to settle on top (because it's inevitable) and can be wiped away by a duster or Swiffer without damage.
I always watch your videos and I will give even this one a thumb up but, organic oil is not good for plastics in long run. Oils, in general, break down plastics and rubber; that's because plastics are made mostly from crude oil. This is the reason why silicone based polishers are used instead for dashboards... they do not interact with the plastics at molecular level too much.
Regardless... When organic oil is added to leather, the car turns into a growing bacteria Petri dish. Leather seats and trims are treated with special chemicals that prevents them from rotting.
Interesting, but of all the oils you could use, olive isn't that cheap, even in pomace grade. Have you tried other edible oils, or inedible ones like linseed or mineral oil? If you use an oil high in polyunsaturates or a hydroxylated one, castor, will the oil coating polymerize with time, and if so is that good or bad?
Robert Goodman , Using oils on any interior and exterior surfaces of a vehicle is not good. These oils can heat up with sun light and shrink, then eventually crack your dash. This includes: Plastics, man-made and natural leathers, suede, cotton, microfiber, and various other materials put into a car. My suggestion is to go to your local Auto detailing store, amazon, or mini marts like Auto Zone and O'Reilly's. You can search or ask for assistance in looking for such products made to be used on different kinds of vehicle interiors. Avoid products like Armor-all due to oil content, and go for products that are water-based.
People do NOT do this to your car. Oil will collect on your windshield and windows creating a cloudy film that will retain grime and dust. Sunlight will fry your dashboard cracking and removing the outer protective layer.
Oil and oil based cleaners are extremely bad for plastic, vinyl, and especially leather dashes. As an experienced auto detailer, I was taught to use water based cleaners. The reason being because the UVA and UVB rays from the sun will fry your dash like an egg and eventually burn it, causing cracks and even shrinkage, which promotes cracking. Also, most new dashes are not lustrous, but rather matte in appearance; Leather is also matte in appearance when new.
I do think you are right.. olive oil doesn´t have UV protection and damage may occur in the long run.
That's right! Shiva Tantrika
This man knows whats up.
Haha thanks man! T3hRealMcCoy
Kenji if we need to go water based we should use KY gel
Don't forget to change your olive oil every 3000 miles
and don't forget to change your blinker fluid also👍
+lalem91 3000 miles?? Every 9000 miles is good enough, but 6000 miles if you are driving a lot in the city with cheap oil.
Hahahaa
leoleo. Funny!
KX Rider969 and make sure to change your muffler bearings too
If you want really good results, let your dashboard marinate overnight.
LOL thanks for the tip XD
And it would really taste great too! Hahaha!
and if still doesn't look shine put one more bottle on it and let it marinate for couple more days. hahaa
Joe L
LMBOOOOOOOOOOO HILARIOUS
Joe L, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
For best results add a dash of lemon juice and ONLY marinate for 4 hours. If you lay a slice of pizza on the dahboard, by late evening you'll enjoy "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" (make sure your girlfirend is there with you).
He put so much oil on his dashboard, usa wants to invade it.
LMAO
BRUTAL , SAVAGE
bring back the TPP
Mihelich 😂
Mihelich You got it from Gordon Ramsey but it's funny lol
Now I realize I've been cooking wrong. But I learned something: Armor-all is great on salads and spaghetti.
You can also pour vodka and naphta in your intake and watch your hood fly all the way tp your neighbor's garden!
😆
LOL, That was good for a laugh. CUTE comeback comment!
***** LOL
Please try WD40, I use it as a fish attractat while fishing and if it's good for the fish it's good for me.
I didn't have olive oil so i used all purpose flour
Was it organic?
Gluten free?
Ha ha ha
Meech007 best laugh of the day!
I get to a point where a comment tells me to quit the thread... this is it.
Marshall Reidel A van and it's full of olive oil and 80's soft music.Plus I have candy O_O
Louis, you need help.
Are you taking your meds?
No,but are you selling some ?
No.
Add a couple of eggs and bacon and you have breakfast.
Slap Chop
Great, now on a hot sunny day I could cook a steak on my dashboard.
LMAO!!!
hahahahha
+Adriana Ramirez hahahahah!!!!
or veggies for all you vegetarians
Yo Adriana that's a great idea about the steaks lets get together for a BBQ we can smear on olive oil and break out the Rib Eye. lol
His next video will be about why not to use olive oil to clean your dash board.
+glumberty1 Yeah, I think I'll stick with Armorall...You know, the product DESIGNED for this
+Daniel Engling Armorall has it's own problems. Don't do it.
Armorall is designed to make the company money by requiring you to reapply it constantly.
Ehh, I've looked the results. What do you use?
+Richard F Like any cleaning product, that's the point
You're*
Oil is one of the worst things that you can use for your dash -- the sun will heat it up and it will cause cracking after a while.
Really need to add some Balsamic after the olive oil application.
it smells like oil ? oh rlly
Too many calories in olive oil makes a fat dashboard.
LOL XD
😂😂
Everybody please watch videos from ChrisFix if you want to treat your car the right way.
"You probly usin' hevvy kemikalz" I love his voice
I love his accent too, very precious
STOP TELLING ME I AM DOING THINGS WRONG
LOL it is just a CONTROVERSAL tattle make a video more people want to see it that's all.... :P
*****
You've been cleaning your leather wrong all your life?
***** maybe so ;) and maybe i will make a video about it hahahah
Rem something like that :)
Spacekat Tommy there is no wrong way to do it this is just CONTROVERSIAL title lol
What's next bro, have I've been wiping myself wrong after taking a shit?
use a sponge and water.
TheWhiteOne and detergent
If you haven't been adding olive oil, yes
Maybe he'll show use how the 3 seashells work...
{demolition man}
Ask a Muslim, and the answer is byes. You have to wash it with water!
I just use bacon grease from the fry pan to clean the dashboard. Then if I get hungry I can lean over and lick the dashboard for a quick snack.
LOL
Hahahha LOL.. you are legend
Tim Martin 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Tim Martin man I'm laughing great comment
Tim Martin 🤣😂😆
Spot on. I have been using Coconut oil in my cars for decades. No cracks or tears. The leather is nice and soft, looks like new and smells great, like a trip to the beach. Cheers mate.
A better idea would be lemon oil, because it would smell way better and isn't as thick and greasy as olive oil. plus olive oil is expensive anyways, the "chemicals" can't be that far off in price.
except for the fact that lemons are acidic - which gives it the sour smell. Very bad for leather
Adrian Bugajski He was rubbing it on his dash, im talking plastic stuff, i wouldn't use either lemon oil or olive oil on my leather seats and have to sit in that...
Non-organic Canola oil works pretty well too. The pesticides in it break down grime and grease, while the GMOs wear it away.
You are right and the pesticides will ensure you don't get an infestation of insects, the downside is your dashboard will eventually come down with cancer.
Sal Leo lol
Such an awesome idea, Now I will park my car in the hot sun, wait a few minutes then toss a steak on the dash, thanks commrade.
Although leather does indeed become a little suppler after applying olive oil, this instant gratification comes with a price.

Try rubbing a Big Mac and Fish and Chips on your dashboard for a better effect

LMBOOOOOOOO
You ruined my car you fucker. The dealership says to only use filet-o-fish.

Which part of Popeye doesn't rust?
The part he dips in Olive Oyl.

This is great advice, better olive oil than those chemical filled polishes, and the natural way looked awesome, thanks for this
Until it cooks and cracks ur dashboard
Just use Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant. It smells nice, has UV protectant (which means it won't bake in the sun and release fumes), and is water based so it won't dry out your interior or attract even more dust like olive oil will. Plus it's only $4 on Amazon.
Yes!
Finally someone with some sense, just don't turn around and put Pepsi on your tires for shine k?
Jacob Burnette No silicone(glass) in Meguiar's. Better than armour-all, anyday.
Jacob Burnette Its only 3.97 at Walmart without shipping charges.
I really have to stop eating coffee and dohnuts in the car :/
When I clean my dashboard with olive oil, when & if I manage to park in the sun for two, three or more hours, All I need do is add 3 gloves fresh chopped garlic, spread italian cheese, onion, diced green & or red pepper, green & or black olives, mushrooms, basil & anchovies on oiled dashboard, leave windows up and solar heat to 110 degrees for 90 minuets……WOW talk about a great topping combo for the pizza & bread sticks I was cooking on the hot engine block…… Works best with longer periods of vehicle operation!

FYI .. Those dashboard clears don't attract dust ... And your idea is to attract more dust to dashboard ... Now you are doing it wrong
Way to go, not only did you grease up your leather, but on hot summer days, its gonna heat up your dash even more and crack it. Why not put it on your steering wheel as well? Go ahead and make it shiny and slippery like the rest of the car and turn it into a hazard.
I know how you feel man I'm sitting laughing at how wrong this is
true coming form a car detailer
His dashboard is made of plastic, anyone with brains and leather knows not to do that.
.. Not to mention your car will smell like an Italian kitchen, along with oil stains all over your clothes. What an inconvenience.
it can cause cracking on the dash and make leather slippery
After a while the car will smell rancid. Guaranteed. And depending on the acidity of the oil, it might react with the plastics.
No doubt. Rancid indeed!
Ive been using it for years with no problems
Guess rancid smell is your thing.
I never used olive oil, though I used veggie oil on the floor board of my truck for years and never had it go rancid.
your so right!!
Using an organic oil is a bad idea, this guy is pretty good but not this time. Organic oil will become rancid after a while and start to smell pretty ordinary, that's just a start. I wouldn't do this.
THIS.
WTF?
TheMattynaught01 It just means I agree with your post. Like "this is truth."
I use bacon for the shine and smell.
Even keeps the Talibans away.
Jokes on you, I've not got a car.
I use low fat butter.
I spread butter on toast... not my dashboard
+nick carbo I just use my left over french fries.
nick carbo I'm from america we put butter on everything. Paula Deen said its the best.
+nx2overide lol do you wipe it off with a pork chop
nick carbo Yes, but you have to use one fresh out of the deep fryer.
When my dash looks bad, I use a stick of butter on it. My car smells wonderful and I can make toast on my dash while I'm in the store. I also like to lubricate my door hinges with raw bacon. Quiets them squeaks right away. And when my seats get a little stinky I spread cake batter on them. So much better that those nasty trees hanging from the mirror.
You made my day I could not stop laughing for an hour , the best was the bacon on your door handle.
+henry raneiri lol. I'm happy I can spread joy just like the cake frosting on my passenger seat.
When my headrest is all blackened, I throw it in the deep fryer. This way I can have a snack while I'm driving too!
I died😂😂😂
Haven't laughed that hard in a while
Next video: You've Breathing Air Wrong.
Well, apparently , when running you should breathe air in through the nose and expel it through the mouth.
Some people don't know that ( or don't do it).

Same rule applies to breathing while exercising. So, at the very least it should be called : "You've been breathing wrong... while running".
Erfan Hosseini then call it; 'you've been crying about stuff wrong'' -,-
I did this a few years ago and regretted it, the surface area became a dust/dirt magnetc and had an uneven shine which looked worse. The oil in a hot climate goes rancid pretty quick. I love your videos and enjot them enormously however I would never do this one again.
I'm glad I read your comment. I was about to do as the Russians does
So try it and you might be happy with it. I guess the outcome depends on a variety of factors. I regretted doing it in my Jaguar and wouldn't do it in my current vehicle.
You would get the same result if you used mineral oil instead of olive oil.
You should make another channel called you have been doing it wrong and only show these type of videos
Cool, now I can have a non-stick dashboard to fry some eggs on in the sun and save on energy costs.
I'll use a silicone coated spatula so I won't want to scratch up my dashboard.

***** you're always on these car videos huh lmao me and you are exactly the same haha you're the one who watches acc0rd79 right?
Haha yup
Sucks to be you, Crazy Russian Hacker, because I haven't been cleaning my car's dashboard at all.
Your car is gonna smell like an Italian restaurant...
put your seat belt on, i thought safety was your number one priority.
do you wear a seat belt while parked in a parkinglot? duh!
are you really this stupid?
and then you're gonna have a car full of roaches!.. .I would NEVER do this.
yes , and aliens
IRTEHLEETOKNPBB roaches love olive oil.
Mac Pelao have you ever in your life seen a roach in any car? even in the ones that are not cars but simply a trash bin?

Nope, not by any means, removing dust while at the same time treating the leather is in no way cleaning.
Yeah and with the oil going rancid after awhile you might as well smear urine on there.

Lemon oil. I use it on my guitars.
Only problem with this is if you ever drop a lit cigarette in your car, you're as good as dead
another reason not to smoke
Its Olive Oil not petrol :P
***** U mad bro?
PremiumGaming He probably isn't.
smamsp He sounds pretty mad. Especially for being absolutely wrong.
***** Olive oil is an oil… Oil is flammable. I'm assuming your dumb ass just tried to drop a lit cigarette in some olive oil to test it out? Also, simmer down buddy, i'm sure you feel real tough behind that keyboard of yours, however, you're not impressing anybody.
I thought Russian people used Vodka for that?
YEA BUT THEY HAVE VODKA IN THEIR OLIVE OIL SO ...
I was actually expecting him to take out a bottle of vodka too...haha
Me too, haha
This is a great idea! Armorall or other products like it are full of alcohol among other things and it will dry out your dashboard and eventually make it crack. So that stuff isn't good for your car at all. Olive oil is a natural substance and it won't make your dash dry out and crack in the heat. Good stuff, thanks for posting!
Um no....
+TheBrannagan I've also heard that armorall over time will deteriorate plastic dashes. Lemon Pledge is a better substitute.

Isn't alcohol is a natural substance, too? Users of brewers' yeast seem to think so.
Jack Sainthill Different kind of alcohol, but either way they are both astringents and they will dry out your dash. Armor All is better for your tires mostly.

OK.
Olive oil turns rancid after a short time. Good way to make your car stink.
use baby oil then
I do but not on my dashboard.

It would probably smell divine if you soaked some garlic in the olive oil before using it. Then you could play some italian music very loudly while driving...
ubb4me i was just thinking that!
cheapest and safest way is using....WATER *O*
this is NOT a better way to clean your car, it'll deteriorate the quality of your leather over time and the "shininess" will evaporate after a day
I love your vids but I see 2 big problems in this one. I cleaned professionally for years running my own cleaning company... automotive and high end houses. Any oil on a surface will be hard to clean off in the future... and it leaves a sticky coating behind that the dust will stick to... that is the first problem(s). The second problem is... it might smell nice now... but all that oil is going to go rancid over time. If you do this you will be surrounded by smelly rancid oil that has dirt stuck to it and is hard to clean off.
My personal choice is 15w-50 fully synthetic oil
soon as the heat evaporates the oil you will have a film of olive oil on all of your windows and then dust will cling to it and you'll be driving blind lol
Ghost Rodgers no oil doesn't 'evaporate unless your dash gets to about 900 degrees
Richard Clark the inside of cars get hot enough that some of it will find itself on the inside glass, I've seen it happen
Ghost Rodgers ... LOL
Ghost Rodgers USE MORE OIL!!!!!!11!!1!11!1!!11
Too bad I don't have a car...
the face matches the comment
I would recommend using fox semen instead. It's cheaper than olive oil and quite a lot easier to get a hold of.
Lmfao hahahaha damn that's good
According to you I do everything wrong!
From the BMW i3 brochure..... The leather used in the interior is tanned with a natural tanning agent derived from olive leaves. The extract from the leaves of the olive tree protects the leather in a natural way - giving it both an authentic, unaltered look and an unmistakeable character.
Great idea. Plus there's an added bonus. On really hot days that would fry an egg on your dashboard, you actually can fry an egg on your dashboard - *_without it sticking._* Much more healthy than frying with butter. ;-)
And much healthier than frying in those chemicals!😄
What next? You've Been Breathing Wrong?
You been commenting on video wrong way
No dashcam? He's not Russian!
he lives in the us
No, actually I've been cleaning my interior the proper way.. I would not recommend this...
Nice subbie
Elias Pagan Thanks :)
When have you ever gone into a car dealership, looked on the showroom and see a shiny dash? You might as well rub baby oil on it. Be sure to enjoy the reflective glare that goes right in your eyes when it's sunny. Additionally, it offer absolutely no protection from the sunlight and will actually accelerate fading/cracking. This is also before you even think about it being a dust magnet, of which you'll just end up rubbing in into your dash (like fine sandpaper) and it just goes downhill from there.
Use a product that hydrates your dash, offers UV protection and gives it a deep color with a matte/satin finish. It should also be dry to the touch. I use Lucas Speed Wax/Quick Detailer since it smells great, protects and contains a small amount of wax. This allows for dust to settle on top (because it's inevitable) and can be wiped away by a duster or Swiffer without damage.
On a hot day you can add bacon, eggs and sausage to your dashboard and when you arrive at work your breakfast will be cooked
I use butter, it's cheaper and smells way nicer!
the dashboard should not be shining :D
I always watch your videos and I will give even this one a thumb up but, organic oil is not good for plastics in long run. Oils, in general, break down plastics and rubber; that's because plastics are made mostly from crude oil. This is the reason why silicone based polishers are used instead for dashboards... they do not interact with the plastics at molecular level too much.
He did say "leather " at least one time. Around 1:54.
Regardless... When organic oil is added to leather, the car turns into a growing bacteria Petri dish. Leather seats and trims are treated with special chemicals that prevents them from rotting.
Interesting, but of all the oils you could use, olive isn't that cheap, even in pomace grade. Have you tried other edible oils, or inedible ones like linseed or mineral oil? If you use an oil high in polyunsaturates or a hydroxylated one, castor, will the oil coating polymerize with time, and if so is that good or bad?
Robert Goodman , Using oils on any interior and exterior surfaces of a vehicle is not good. These oils can heat up with sun light and shrink, then eventually crack your dash. This includes: Plastics, man-made and natural leathers, suede, cotton, microfiber, and various other materials put into a car. My suggestion is to go to your local Auto detailing store, amazon, or mini marts like Auto Zone and O'Reilly's. You can search or ask for assistance in looking for such products made to be used on different kinds of vehicle interiors. Avoid products like Armor-all due to oil content, and go for products that are water-based.
Now your car smells like an olive oil factory! :)
jokes on you, i have never cleaned my car! XD
Looks like you're the one doing it wrong this time.
Wouldn't it feel all greasy though
No different than 99% of people
Listening to this video really relaxes me. It happens with some videos. I don't know why.
I want to know if later it Will emmit poisonous fumes when car will heat or will it stink ?
its gonna look shiny and smells like...whale
lmfao
the oil isnt gonna make the plastic or leather greasy well done!
People do NOT do this to your car. Oil will collect on your windshield and windows creating a cloudy film that will retain grime and dust. Sunlight will fry your dashboard cracking and removing the outer protective layer.
Sarfaraz Hussein Merchant saddam is that you?
The BEST part of this video is at 1:20 Where he says IT LOOKS SHINY AND WILL SMELL LIKE OIL....LMAO!!!
then hand slide off steering wheel causing mighty big crash
