Default dash and interior cleaning??

I thought there was a thread on here about cleaning but I can't find the damn thing. Maybe I'm hallucinating, who knows these days.....

Anyways, what do you guys use for the dash?? I used to use Armorall on my Civic but it made the dash really shiny and it would reflect sunlight right on the windshield, which made it kinda hard to see.

So does anyone know any good products???

Thanx

Armor all cleaning wipes (not protecting) will clean the dash without leaving it shiny.

There are a number of topics about cleaning the interior - here's one of 'em: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=149753

One BIG help is to pop a cabin air filter into the filter drawer behind the glove box if you haven't yet - it keeps a lot of the crud from getting onto the dash to start with.

My blower is on 99% of the time the engine is on - I prefer moving fresh air into the cabin. Since I'm doing that, I see no reason to load the interior of the blower and the heater and air conditioner heat exchange radiators (and the interior of the car) with crud sucked in from outside.

Considering the amount of 'stuff' caught in the filter (that would otherwise be in the car), I'm glad I have a filter in there.

BTW, I just bought eight filters (including shipping) for the price of two at the dealer... Since I have two Scions, that's not really all that many filters if one figures they last six to twelve months each...

Here's a link:
