Yeah it was me who said it evapourates. And that is very true! Its really depending on how much you use your heaters in your car.

There is a calculator somewhere so you will know how long it will take to evapourate. But trimming may be and option.

Surely you know roughly that flocking is little particles off stuff stuck to a dash? And only a liquid evapourates....
