Default cleaning the dash

What do you guys and gals use to wipe down the inside dash and other areas. I don’t wasn’t to use armor all as I don’t like the slick look.

I just wipe it down with a moist absorber towel to get rid of the dust

x 2. I don't think you're really going to get an actual shine out of the material that our dashes are made of. Just wipe it down.

I use the meguiars interior wipes. Cleans it up really nice but it doesn't leave a slick greasy look.

i tried meguiars professional vinyl and rubber cleaner. the results were not what i expected because the dash has tiny tiny grooves that could be penetrated with the applicator. its not like my preludes which is straight vinyl and you can shine it up real good.

I use a damp lint free cloth. I tried a couple different products like Meguires, and regretted it. Damp cloth works best for me.

I used Armor All on the dash of my 2001 Civic. Biggest mistake I ever made. Over time is stained the dash White.

I use a damp microfiber towel. The same towel also makes the seats and arm rests look brand new. Every once in a while, I use Meguiars Interior Mist Detailer. It works great and isn't shiny.

forget spending money on interior cleaning products. a damp mirco fiber rag does the job.
