Dash: Einszett Plastic Care and 303 Aerospace Protectant
Leather: Einszett Leather Care

For routine cleaning of the dash, I just use a damp microfiber cloth without any cleaning agent on it. Seems to work well.

I use Armor all wipes. They are in a plastic cannister... They have severalL

1 for GLASS in Purple Cannister
1 for "All Purpose" in light blue cannister (for dash etc)
1 for Leather (in Brown Cannister)

And a little green box for the exterior they say for an instant "car wash" for getting bird stuff off the exterior etc.

These products work great... they are made by Armor All but they are NOT armor all in the traditional sense.

However, right now with the subfreezing temps here, all these wipes have froze up to each other in the trunk!

Sorry, I am not as exotic as some with car cleaning. These work great.. they clean and do not streek so I didn't see the need to get so extravagant.

You can get these at Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts and the regular car places.

Anyone else use them?
