I like to use a leaf blower to clean the inside. Just blows everything out! :lol:

I use my Absorber after drying the car and wringing it out good. Another thing that works really well is the Swiffer Duster, the dust clings to it instead of just getting stirred around. I also have a big makeup brush I bought at a beauty supply store to dust in the cracks and vents and elsewhere. It's nice and soft, kinda the same idea as the paint brush idea above.

I don't like Armor All stuff. it's too greasy and your dash will become dependent on it. Also, it glares and makes dust and lint stick worse. Sorry, I used to be a detailer and tried a lot of things. I use something called Black Chrome, but I don't see it anymore.

I use Meg's NXT for the dash. It shines, smells great but TheScionicMan is right.
It does get dusty/dirty a lil quicker in my opinion.

The beauty make-up brush thing is pretty creative though.

I second the swiffer duster wipes. (No need to use the mop handle that you use to do the floors in the house, a little cumbersome in the car :)

I got a box of like a million or so (give or take) of the generic ones at BJ's wholesale for well under 10 bux. They work great, no lint, etc. Try em.

i clean with soap/water... then i use meguiar's nxt to protect it... i keep a microfiber towel in the glovebox for weekly dusting... keeps it looking good for about a month...

as for the make-up brush... good tip, now i have a reason to go with my fiance to sephora...

I just use Armor All and a terry towel, i do it every week and it looks great no problems. little dust but nothing a swiffer duster cant get rid of.

Rubber/vinyl cleaner, it leaves it nice and shiny and not gross at all.
