Default how to clean the interior?

Hey folks,
I was wondering how to clean the interior. Because of the dimpled dash, skin particle marks come up. How do you clean them off? I just rub them with my finger (not that effective). Also, how about the seat fabric? I notice white dust areas...

Thanks

i bought some turtle wax upholstert cleaner that makes foam to scrub into the seat, but its still dirty...the only thing it did was take away the smell...

I want to know how to clean them good too...

I use: Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner (uv40)
Natural luster - avoids the typical shine of conventional protectants.

For me, just a light orange cleaner mixed mixed with some water - I just use that and a washcloth to wipe the interior down. To clean the seats, I use this spinning tool that came with my vacuum - get's all of the lint up in a hitch

Here are some tips:
How to Detail Your Cockpit

I'm using 303 Aerospace Protectant and it leaves a clean, non-shiny surface. If you use this product, make sure to get total coverage when you wipe it on otherwise you will notice areas that haven't been treated. It's not that treated areas are any more shiny, they just appear slightly darker. Also, it helps to buff the surface after application. This product is also great for keeping rubber seals and gaskets in great condition.

For more info, click here.

You forgot about using P-Nut Butter to get out old wax from textured surfaces. I have recommended that and used it myself.

Your Damn Skippy ( no pun intended ) Just rub it in with an old toothbrush and your good to go. Old wax is gone.

Default Cleaning the dash

First boys and girls,I learned this the hard way.I have always been a fan black magic wet tire shine.I use it in the interior as well,dash,shifter,jams,etc.The first time I used it on the dash,I uses a peice of sponge,and everything I put on it just bubbled up and left an uneven haze.I also used a dash duster (from the makers of the california duster)and it left fine red pieces of the duster on the dash..I was like damn,I cant win.So I went old school on it.I got a small bowl out the kitchen and put soapy water in it,then used a small blue 3x4 kitchen/bath sponge by scotch-brite,left it a little damp,then went over it.Then,I squirted some tire wet onto two pieces of shop towels(they are blue and look like paper towels,and are .99 at autozone)It turned out fine,no air bubbles,uneven haze,and a deep penetrating shine,plus it makes the interior smell like cherries
