Hey what do you all use to clean the dash and the side panels. I need something to clean as I think its either drying or there is a smudge.

Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner

Einszett Cockpit Cleaner - best interior cleaner there is.

Thanks I ordered this just now from Amazon, had the best reviews compared to the Meguiars interior cleaner. What is the dash vinyl or leather or something else.

Good ol' plastic.
Nothing fancy unless you or a previous owner have customised it.

Gumi plfege is also a best product - keeps the rubber door seal nice and supple.
303 Aerospace Protectant isn't bad either on that front, but it can be a bit slick. Quite a bit of silicone in its makeup, but before you pull that face, bear in mind not all silicones are bad.
Bodyshops love telling you how bad silicone is - what they mean is a pain in the **** for them to skip proper panel preparation!
Not to mention the Imperial Hand Glaze from 3M, which is used/recommended prior to the customer arriving for collection, is loaded with silicone - which slows the final stages of curing over the next 30-60 days, even after being cured in a low temp oven (25-30ºC).

Thanks for the help.

I clean it with tap water first to pick up the dust.
Then apply Amor All for vinyl and door rubber seal.
Cheap, but effective.

I just use a clean cloth to collect the dust and the another wet one to do the clean wipe, done lol

Do the GS's have the problem with there dashboards, like the IS's with the dashes melting?

Problem with this is every time I do this the dash seems to dry out. Not sure why but that's why I was looking for a cleaner.

Nope never had this type of issue.
