Default cleaning dashboard 2006 IS 350

My daughter got 'tennis shoe' marks on my newly installed dashboard. I cannot seem to get them out. I don't want to use a cleaner that will cause my dashboard to start melting and getting sticky again (my dash was replaced by Lexus twice since i've owned my car). I don't know what is safe to use since I've only ever used water and a cloth to clean it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I use the dashboard wipes from walmart and they work pretty good.
They're like $5 if I remember correctly.

Are those wipes approved for that type of dashboard material?

To be honest, I'm not sure but I've been using it for a while now and my dash is still good.

I have the same question. And also is 303 spray good on out dash? I've used it on all my past cars without issues I'm scared on this car.

I first use ONR(Optimum No Rinse) for cleaning up any dust and dirt off the dash then, I use 303 wipes as a UV protectant on my dash and all the plastics. I then buff it off with a microfiber towel and it leaves a nice matte finish. My dash has held up perfectly fine with the use of those two products. Then again I live in the pacific northwest so we don't get the humid and hot weather that melts the dashboards.

Thanks! Answered my question perfectly. I normally douse my interiors with 303 spray I will definitely do it on my 2IS as well
