Cleaning dimpled dashboard
I have a RSX Type S and I want to clean the dimpled dashboard but I don't want to ruin it. I'm thinking about using a soft toothbrush and some mild soap. Just wondering if anyone has tried any other tactics...?

I usually spray cleaner onto a microfiber cloth and just wipe. It does the job, but then again, my car doesn't usually get too dirty. Microfiber works because no lint gets stuck in the dimples.

Re: Cleaning dimpled dashboard (rsxylady)
To me, the dimpled dashboard was definitely a stupid move by Acura... It's obvious it will be hard to clean/keep clean... 
I'm thinking of using the brush attachment with my house vacuum, but not sure if that would work/mess up the dash? Anyone have any thoughts?

if you want to clean it with a cloth and not get lint, try using a microfiber one. It doesn't leave lint for me.

Could also use a California Dash Duster, I'm sure. But yeah, go with a lint-free cloth of any kind, including microfiber. You could probably also roll some tape sticky-side-out over your hand and lift it all off (or a lint roller, too).
