Trying to find a good dashboard cleaner and protect

Looking for a dashboard cleaner I've used Armor all Maguire and it leaves it looking white ashy and faded my interiors black ! ??????

I use Ultima interior shampoo gel for cleaning and their interior guard plus for protection.

Ugh, you used armor all on your interior? So you like greasy and shiny looking surfaces?
To be honest I don't use any products on my dash. Just an occasional wipe down using a damp cloth does a perfect job and leaves the dash looking dry and clean like it did from the factory. For leather surfaces I use that damp cloth with a little Zaino Leather in a Bottle.

If you feel you want to use a product on your dash I have heard good things about that aerospace protectant, but I've never tried it myself.

Do you follow up with a protectant after cockpit premium? I love using it on my navi screen and gauges and when I need to do a quick wipe down on my interior but it offers very little protection from the elements.

I personally use blackfire interior protectant. They also sell a cleaner, but I like cockpit premium. 303 is a combo protectant/cleaner, which I'm not fond of, but it gets good reviews as well

I'm also a fan of BF interior protectant. Leaves a nice matte look on the interior. I also prefer cockpit over BF cleaner since it's gentle enough for screens and gauges.

After I clean the dashboard, I use Adam's Leather & Interior Conditioner, which has an SPF of 65! It's not greasy or oily and leaves a satin finish.

+1 on the 303. Been using it since new and nearly 7 years later the dash still looks great. The only problem I have with it is the car smells for a few days when you first get in. Its like really bad BO. But it goes away within a week or so and is only really around when you first start the car. Love the fact that its not shiny and it applies super easy with just a mf cloth.
