so in your opinions, what is the best way to clean the bumpy dash of the xD. I have a feeling that armorall is not on the list of good...

product, cloth type, and method...

 

Just keep it simple. Invisible Glass and microfiber.

 

armorall does quite well. armorall sealer. and a microfiber towel. i wish i would've seen this earlier, would've taken a pic of before and after for mine, i just did it this morning for the show i went to.

 

I used to work for a detail place and i hate armorall it ruins plastic over a good amount of time i just use good old glass cleaner on a micro fiber rag or even just a semi damp towel works for me some people like that sticky shine...

 

The only thing I hate about ArmorAll on a dash board is that as it evaporates it leaves a really bad film on the windshield.

 

I use 303 Aerspace Protectant, I apply it with a foam brush and buff with a microfiber cloth. I like because it does not leave that Soul Glow appearance on the dash.

 

so THAT's where THAT is coming from... I was trying to figure that one out...

 

haha yeah armaroll is pretty for about an hour after you put it on then it becomes a realy big pain i just use a wet rag and glass cleaner with a micro fiber towel on all the painted pieces and my black car shines inside and out just fine

 

will the glass cleaner give a nice even look to the dash... i started with just a lil armorall wipe thingy and stopped due to the fact i looked like it was gonna turn out uneven.
also, are microfiber towels generic or is there a specific brand to look for?

 

i use armor all for cleaning, but for protection and high shine / gloss i use Black Magic Pro Shine Protection...works really well for shine

 

I was going to start using that too, . . till my friend (who used it) said quote ... "It smells like an old man's B.O."

Instead I got, and use, Meguiar's Protectant. It has an aroma of Coconut Oil, and makes the dash and all interior vinyl look like the day it came from the showroom. I also apply it to the Wiper Cowl, and the parts just behind the side mirrors with the same results. It is not sticky and most importantly, it does not make the dash brittle.

I know you'll be quite happy with the results as well.

Meguiar's natural shine protect works great. Gives a little shine (smells good) and keeps everything looking great.

 

i just use my vacuum with the brush attachment to get the dust layer off...then a damp microfiber towel
