Default Cleaning dash and wood paneling

What do other owners use to clean their dash and wood paneling that doesn't leave streaks? The Armor-all wipes seem to leave streaks in the dash and Orange-Glo polish on the paneling left it a bit greasy. Thanks! (2006 Lexus ES330)

303 Aerospace Protectant. I've been using it for years. Rub all over everything, polish off wood with a clean cloth and leaves it buttery smooth

Agreed. Excellent product, and provides UV protection as well.

Thanks to both of you. Never heard of it but I'll look it up! Cloth with very little fiber, I take it. Maybe one I can get at a car parts store? Unless you have other ideas. Appreciate it!

​​​​​​​If you can't find it at your local auto parts store, it's usually available at a boating supply store, or online of course.

+1 for 303. Back when I got into Car Detailing, I learned all about car care products and how they differ. Stay away from Armor-All.

I just stopped wiping the wood trim with armour-all and dust it off with the clean side of the cloth.
