Default 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.

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).

microfiber or lint roller will be your best bet.

i've seen a thread just like this on clubrsx. everyone says that a lint roller or microfiber towel works. i think i'm going to try that this weekend.
