dashboard/interior cleaner

What do you guys use for cleaning your dash/interior. I have leather cleaner for the seats but not sure what to use for the dash. don't want anything too oily and too shiny.

Yeah, don't use leather cleaner on the non leather bits as it's a little aggressive for that. I use Auto Finesse Total to clean the interior and the finish it with Spritz. It give a nice matte finish. I prefer this as I can't stand a shiny or oily dash.

Checkout poorboys. Goes on easily and leaves a matte finish with slight sheen. It's water based so not greasy at all

I'm a big fan of the Sonax dash cleaner. Leaves a nice Matt finish. nice smell... I like their appolstrey cleaner also

There was another thread discussing dash cleaners and there was a aviation product that some recommended.. sorry I can't remember the name.

Aerospace 303 on the dash and other plastic/vinyl interior bits, followed by microfiber wipe down to attain immediate matte finish.

Another vote for 303. It also provides UV protection to keep the plastics/rubbers away from fading.

As a quick dash duster, the BMW natural care works well. Smells nice too.

I like the Sonax dashboard cleaner. It has a matte-finish and still provides UV protection. I've always preferred matte because that way it looks like you have no product on at all.

303 Aerospace is a great product but does leave a shine behind -- some people like that. I actually use it on the carbon leather to make it "pop" a bit more. I do like using it on the exterior plastics since those are going to get the most UV exposure.

Agreed, used many in the past, but have stuck to Einzett products for the past 5+years: 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Detailer
