I just use a lightly damp cloth, picks up whatever dust is there and dries pretty fast.

Re: cleaning dashes

I use Armor All cleaning wipes. Not the ones that leave a shine though. The ones with the purple label leave it clean with no build up. I use on my tires too. I hate glossy dashes and tires.

Re: cleaning dashes

Armor All Natural Finish Detailer Protectant (not greasy and shiny like the original) and a microfiber cloth.

Re: cleaning dashes

Armor all cleaning wipes if needed and I keep a microfiber cloth in my car for whenever it gets dusty.

Meguiar's is the BEST.

I've heard somewhere Armor-all actually does more harm than good over long periods of use, I'll see if I can find that article.

I have heard the same negative things about Armor-all. I would be interested reading any material you can find on it.

Re: cleaning dashes

Swifter stuff is good. I usually just use a damp microfiber towel (wring it to the max before use)

I use armor all and a microfiber cloth. I apply plentiful amounts so it shines like crazy.

Re: cleaning dashes

You gotta have the California Mini Duster in addition to whatever else you use to "clean" the interior hard surfaces. It is inexpensive, fast, and works great.

More than getting dirty, my interior gets dusty. I keep my duster in the tray below the rear seat and when I get to a traffic light, I just grab it and by the time the light changes, the front cabin is dust free. I highly recommend the regular duster for the exterior in between washes. Google for prices.

Re: cleaning dashes

i have used a swiffer for dust and a little semi wet microfiber cloth for the interior pieces. armor all wipes are a no-no's for the dash or anything in the interior plastic. it leaves an oily residue that attracts more dust. so it defeats the purpose all together. they're very good for tires though. i hope that helps.

Re: cleaning dashes

before I got my velour dash mat I used a micro fiber cloth and Black Magic since it is Silicone based so it cleans, shines and protects your dash unlike Armor-all that has a water base that will over time dry out your dash and lead to cracking and splitting... with the black magic it would wipe the dust with the cloth and then just put one spray on the other cloth and use it for almost the entire interior so you get a nasty build up
