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.

^+1.

1:10 woolite/distilled water then follow up with 303 applied with round pad.

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.
