Step 1: Assess the Damage
First things first, take a good look at your Beetle’s dashboard. Is it cracked? Faded? Covered in mysterious stains from who knows what? It’s probably all of the above because let’s face it, these cars weren’t exactly known for their durability.

– Sandpaper
– Paint (if needed)
– Patience (lots and lots of patience)
Step 3: Clean, Clean, Clean
Get out that dashboard cleaner and scrub away at those years of neglect. Don’t be afraid to really get in there and show that dashboard who’s boss.

If your dashboard is looking like it’s been through a war (which, let’s be honest, it probably has), you may need to fill in any cracks or chips with some putty and sand it down for a smooth finish.
Step 5: Protect and Shine
Once your dashboard is looking spick and span, apply a generous amount of dashboard protectant to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible.
