dashboard cleaners

[neo]

Have been using a damp shammy leather and a little warm soapy water to clean the dashboard and other interior plastic panels but it really isn't cleaning it that well now after almost 4 years

 

which products would you recommend for cleaning the dash/interior plastics, don't really want a shiny finish tho ???

But in short yes it seems to be recommended

 

For the dashboard - I have been using megs trim detailer (bog standard stuff from halfords) and seems to bring it up well enough.

Use a microfibre on the dash too, picks up all those annoying fragments of fluff.

the advantage of 303 is that it contains sunscreen so it will stop plastics bleaching in the sun

I use those armour-all matt finish dash wipe things you get from Hellfrauds and then go over with a microfibre and it cleans it without looking like there's anything on it.

Get some of the SSR range then - they smell like Swizzels Double Lollies!

[Stew]

Hmmmmmm How did it work out for you anyway?

[M13KYF]

bought some of the poorboys dash stuff and used it this weekend. Very impressed with it.

[H5]

Stew, the SSR stuff is very very good. Just the right amount of cut to do exactly what it says on the tin. I used it on the new front end when I got it and it really did remove all the swirls. That, with the Diamond Glaze on top, was brilliant.

 

I've got the dash stuff too, I agree Mike, good stuff.

[Stew]

The dash stuff is brilliant and leaves the perfect finish in my opinion.

 

I might try the SSR stuff.

[clarkie34]

+1 for the poorboys really does leave a nice matt finish
