Sharpie Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I want to give my dash a real good deep clean but, don't want to use anything that will leave it sticky or shiny, I like the matt look. What have you used ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I used the Turtlewax spray dash shine - if you wipe it over with a damp cloth, it gives a matt finish. Smells nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 just depends whats on there atm, i only put a dressing on if the customer requests it , clean is all you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have used the below product for say.....the last 2-3 years but, my dash looks like it's been sat out in the sun for too long and mixed in with the dust, looks a little tired now. Note: It's not actually been in the sun, it lives in the garage but, you get the idea. I guess I need something to get down into the pours of the dash and lift that dirt out leaving a nice clean surface. I then want to make it a little darker (back to black style) but, with a matt finish at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Was advised by a trader on here not to use any silicone based sprays as it gets behind the dashboard and rots the rubber wiring covers ! Not heard this before, just passing it on for what it's worth. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 i use a product called viro sol , for really dirty hard sufaces its basically a strong degreaser, or ive got AG interior cleaner , theres not much that these two wont shift . as for back to black i wouldnt put that on the dash , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chumpalot Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Damp cloth and elbow grease. Where can I get a tin of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 If your dash has not been painted then as above i would just use some warm water with a little car shampoo in (not washing up liquid), something that is not going to effect the rubber coating or leave a glossy finish.

Lukeyboy2k Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Can anyone recommend a particular product that is good for cleaning the elephant hide material that is used on the door cards and throughout the interior? I've never had a good crack at it, but in previous cars I've cleaned, everything looks good to start with, but upon drying it looks rubbish - any tips?

Sharpie Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 BTW I'm talking about the top part of the dash, not the facia with the gauges/controls on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a cream leather cleaner on that and the door cards, seems to bring them up a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
