What should I use to clean the dashboard?

[AWD330XI]

No Armor All, I assume?

Usually a damp cotton or microfiber cloth will work fine. The interior cleaner wipes from Meguiars or Armor All work fine for tougher jobs. To protect your dash, use either 303 Aerospace protectant or Lexol Vinylex. These two formulas do not contain the bad kind of silicone. Hope this helps!

The best stuff to use on the dash is Autosport's Vinyl Protector. Hands down, nothing else comes close. It gives a great sheen, will prevent fading, lasts a long time, and has absolutly no tackyness. Not to mention a little goes a long way, seriously for the last year I have been using the same bottle, purchased another a few months ago but havent needed to use it.

For dusting dont bother with any fancy microfiber cloths, I have them and they work great but the best thing are the Swiffer cloths. Their new duster is the best, has a handle and is extremely easy to use, one swipe on the dash and its clean.

The 303 Aerospace, Lexol Vinylex and Autosport's Vinyl Protector are just that, protectors. Personally, I use 303 Aerospace since it is advertised as having UV protectors.

For cleaning, try the damp cloth as membim suggested. If you need something stronger after that, try a 25% solution of Simple Green mixed with water.
