Wink Cleaning the dash?

I'm not sure what is best for cleaning the dash and other parts of the interior. Any ideas from some of you detailers out there. Thanks!

I'm by no means an expert detailer, but I've had great luck with Lexol Vinylex. This will clean your dash and leave a low sheen finish that's not sticky and doesn't attract much dust. Between applications, just use a clean cloth to wipe off anything that accumulates.

The detailing gurus have their own forum on ClubLexus. I'm moving your thread there.

If there is genuine dirt I will use a diluted all-purpose cleaner. For the most part I just use QD spray to remove dust and light grime. For protection I follow up with a light coat of either 303 Protectant or Poorboys Natural Look.

I never had a very dirty dash before, so I just wipe off the dust with some water/towel and then use 303 very lightly for that matte look.

I use Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. Leaves the dash looking like new with no sheen.

Aerospace 303 is the best IMHO.

303 Aerospace Protectant FTW! Use it on the entire interior, including leather seats.
