You know what is scary though? I've seen the sunscreen actually bubble up the material on my plain center console too (hence needing to replace with a painted one), and the vinyl on some peoples' dash. Wonder what chemical is being used in some sunscreens that does this?

 No kidding? I'm -extremely- surprised that that. Out at events, I put a good 3-5 coats of SPF 40 or higher sunscreen on throughout the day. I'm sweaty, I'm doing runs, I'm sure I get it on my car, but never a problem. And I've used several different brands too. Crazy.

I still have some left over that caused the bubbling in my car. Can bring some over to you if you'd like to confirm my statement on your car's interior.

Didn't say I didn't believe you... I'm just extremely surprised by it.
I use Coppertone spray on (SPF 30 was the highest in that that I could find), and banana boat sport SPF 40 and sometimes SPF 50 as regular goop on.
