My neighber just asked whats the best product to use. So I said I would have a look at Halfords for her.
If they have a section for cleaning products then I gave up looking for it, ECP not much better.
I warned her off silicone spray (bugger if it gets on the glass) so open to the OOF consumer advice section.
TIA. :y

Warm water.
Every product I have ever seen makes plastics shiny which is the last thing you want for a dashboard in my opinion

Kleen Freeks Interior Detailer leaves a nice matt finish.

Ambersil Foaming Upholstery Cleaner...

Every time. I use it for pretty much everything inside the car. Any leather gets followed up with Autoglym leather cleaner and care balm. :y

I vacuum the mud up once a month, and throw a microfibre cloth over the dash.
-
I wipe it over with a damp cloth now and again, and if I feel it needs some 'product' on it, I just use whatever surface cleaner comes to hand. :y
Currently Tesco's Apple surface cleaner which costs about a quid. :)

"Magic erasers" were a huge surprise to me when used on grubby light coloured plastics, omega sun visors came back to brand new for example

Didn't they look odd? ;D

I understand the words 'dash board' but, 'car cleaning' does not compute.
You can use most things, furniture polish is fine, but spray the cloth and work it in the cloth a bit before applying to dash.

I have a pack of baby wipes on the passenger seat with a little weak disinfectant liquid poured into the pack .
I wipe my face with babywipes when i get in the car after wearing a mask.
then i use the babywipe to wipe over the wheel, or dash, trim or my knob :o (gear selector) ;)
then put the babywipe in a bag , they are then used as rag , (wipe dipstick :P ,mop up oil spills etc )
then thrown in the bin for landfill ;D

Baby wipes for me too. :y

I agree, which is why I use THIS (https://wacuk.com/products/vinyl-polish)stuff. It brings out the colour without adding a slick or shiny surface, is easy to apply, lasts ages, doesn't have a strong scent, is economical in use and cheap to buy - about £15 for 5l which has lasted me about 12years so far.
It's a trade product, so you're not paying for marketing or a fancy container. It works on all the self-coloured plastics inside and out, so you don't need separate products for the external trim, seals, tyres or underbonnet.

TB keeps a pack of baby wipes in his fridge for Naga mornings! :o ;D
