I have 2 1970 trucks. Both have been in the desert their entire life. The flatbed's dash pad is roached. The CST's pad has one little crack because it was always covered with a towel.

I'm not looking forward to replacing the flatbed's dash pad. It seems like a massive pain and it's a color that isn't reproduced and I'm trying to keep the original color on the truck as much as I can but color matching some of these more obscure colors make it tough.

So I would say to just keep it covered.

I'm off the hook. My wife doesn't actually care what it looks like, and is fine with a piece of carpet.

She just doesn't want you to take the towels.

My wife gets really mad when I use one of the good towels to wax the car.

I bought a bag of microfiber towels from CostCo a dog's age ago. That's what I use.

I don't like those. They feel icky. They creep me out.

But I'm weird. I can't touch flour either. It gives me the heebee jeebee's. I shudder to even think about it. I have no explanation why.
