Cleaning Dashboard

Was wondering what you guys use to protect the dashboard? Is it ok to use vinyl/leather protectant such as Eagle One Nanoprotectant on dashboard w/o streaking? Looking at the material on dashboard, it seems like it will have streaks from the protectant. I am only using soap and warm water right now, but it seems the color is fading a little.

i use a spray from turtle wax. f21 or something like that? it's a protectant. i usually take like a sheet of swiffer or one of those de-dusting cloths to take off the dust, and then i spray some of the protectant on and then rub it in with a microfiber towel.

I use the turtle wax ice, you can use it on any surface in the car.

This works like a charm. Leaves a nice low sheen on the interior plastic surfaces and did not streak at all. Took one of the wipes and used it on the entire dash, steering wheel, etc. about a month ago and it still looks terrific. Used Leather CPR on the leather surfaces.

I used a little dose of 303 protectant since the car had almost no dust.

Armor All works well for cleaning, used it alot with my older car and it worked just fine and it's quite convenient.

So I'll probably do Armor All + 303 on a monthly basis. I don't have kids and all the stuff I carry goes in the trunk so keeping the interior clean isn't such a challenge.

Yep, I use armorall wipes too, I just use the "Orange Cleaning Wipes" to give it a little nicer smell opposed to regular armorall and works like a champ, I wipe down my dash this week too..and I always keep a swiffer duster pad in my glovebox and go over the dash every day or two

303 here too - really helped when I had my 3G - they had problems w/ the dash fading

I use it on my 4G dash and tires -- you can find it at boat supply stores - they use it for the UV protection - doesn't give that glossy look like other products
