There are many things you could use (I mostly know of non OTC stuff), but here is what I use. I dont really "clean" my dash because it doesnt really get dirty (05 TSX),.......just dusty. I get rid of the dust with MF towels and I treat the dash with Aerospace 303 protectant. I find it gives the dash a nice matte finish and 303 provides UV protection etc, so it helps against fading. In general, for cleaning interior surfaces I use some Woolite diluted with water (I have woolite zero - so 10:1 ratio of water to woolite,...recommended by JackieO 
). That cleans up everything, and then I basically put 303 on everything (except leather, although I could). Looks great, and gives a nice matte finish.
I have never used the Megs stuff, so I cant comment on that. There are lots of products out there, and I know what pro detailers like to use,.....but they are not OTC things like mothers or Megs. You might want to look into Lexol or Poorboys World stuff maybe. Anyway, you will get better info from others because I dont worry much about interior products since I am happy with what I use (lexol for seats, 303 everything else).
Coincidentially, I have to finish working on my interior today. Sadly though, the transit ppl went on strike here today and I had to give a bunch of ppl rides to work,.........so all my cleaning yesterday might have to be redone. Im scared to look at what dirt might have been tracked into the car.

I've never liked the scent of Meguiar's interior cleaners...just a personal thing. I'll second the vote for 303 protectant, and I also really like Poorboys Natural Look. It too has a strong scent - a very sickening sweet smell if you over apply. For dusting I just use QD with a MF towel, and apply the protectant/matte dressing once every month or so.
