I did a couple searches, but I did not really come up with anything. What are you guys using to clean your dash. Right now I am just wiping with a microfiber towel, but I would like some product to help clean/protect without evaporating all over my windshield. Thoughts?


Thanks.

 

well just remember its best to spray the product on the towel not the area ur applying it to, UGHH as much as i dont want to advertise for a company best product i used on my G's dash is inner clean from chemical guys it leaves a matte finish so u wont get that greasy look it also can be used on plastic so its more than just a leather protectant.

 

Zaino Z-10 Leather in a Bottle.

 

For the dash/vinyl, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. I spray on a microfiber towel, wipe, and buff off with dry side. It leaves a nice matte finish that is not greasy and protects from UV!

 

I second DPNx714. I usually dampen the towel with water and spray 303 aerospace protectant onto the towel and wipe the dash down. You can also perform a maintenance clean of the leather with the same technique.

 

Great. Thanks guys. I appreciate the info.

 

I tend to use Einszett Cockpit Premium. here is a good guide, I find it very very helpful.

 

+3 on the 303

 

303 for sure.

 

another happy 303 aero user for dash, seats, and you name it!

 

Do not use a micro fiber towel to clean the clear plexiglass that covers the gauges. It will cause very fine scratches that rainbow in direct sunlight. Cotton only.

 

+1 on the 303 Protectant - boaters love the stuff and keeps their vinyl/leather seats looking new for years. Its out in the sun all of the time so it must protect well.

I like the non-shiny appearance it gives, almost makes the car look brand new. See attached photo of a Lexus IS300 dash.

 

I'd recommend Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant. Awesome product. Nice sheen, adds depth to the color of your trim and lasts a long time (60-90 days). Highly recommended. Use a foam pad and wipe it on.

 

To the original question, I use Mequiars all purpose cleaner(diluted 10:1) for dirtier jobs. Just gotta agitate with a soft bristled brush then wipe away with a clean microfiber towel. Then I hit it with the 303 Aerospace Protectant. Some say its overkill but I like using dedicated products instead of an all-in-one formula. Turns out with great results.

 

another +1 on 303 Aerospace. Very versatile and you can matte it down a bit by wiping it down
