Cleaning The Dashboard

Hey all

I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my dash shine w/o being oily and slick looking. What do you think? Suggestions

Question

303 seems to last very well (dull gloss) on the dash, but not so long on the faux leather upper part of the door, where one would rest one's arm with the window open. Wonder why...

And it isn't because my arm wipes it off, it happens on the passenger side, as well, and I have not let anyone else ride in my car yet (month and a half, losing friends fast)

Dependant upon what side faces the sun when the car is parked and it may have something to do with wear and the oil from your skin on the drivers side.

Treat your friends to a ride in a detailed car just to show them what there missing...BTW the ladies love a guy who keeps the interior immaculate...try it

Meguiar's #40 (about the same price as 303) seems to bring back the "like new" look without being too glossy. I used Mother's Preserves before but the gloss seems to accentuate when you put too much (nice smell though).

Those little California Dusters work well for interior. A lot of dust clings to those threads

Three-o-three 4 me.

Also have some Vinylex I use on the plastic by floor or seatbelt pillar. Need to 303 the dash this weekend as my new sun visor leaves scuff like marks on the dash going in and out.

I tried out some 303 samples, raelly liked them.

I have some 1Z stuff, but cleans more than anything, doesn't leave much of a trace.

A dry/lightly damp microfiber works pretty well too, followed by a dry one.
