Default dash board cleaning?

Just curious what is good to use for cleaning the dash. It looks like a vinyl with a suede type of leather feel to it.

If its just dusty, get one of those new dusting gloves. Switzers or something like that. Works great.

I'm using 303 Protectant on the dash every so often. Does not give it a shine, and keeps the somewhat dull look.

I've also used 303 Aerospace Protectant throughout the interior very sparingly and then wiped it down with a damp cotton towel. It both protects and enhances without an oily or plasticized look.

I usually dust it off with the mini cal-car duster. I use Lexol Vinylex to make it look nice.

303 is the stuff I need. I hate the oily, plasticized look.

Where do I get 303 at?

Thanks in advance.

I buy my 303 at a local boating store. By the way, they also carry Plexus.

Thanks! That's the info I needed.

How does Plexus work for you all on the rear window?

I have an array of 3M products for cleaning and buffing scratches. It works great! However, I also get this smoked haze. I think it's from the heat of the California sun.

Would Plexus remove this haze?

Plexus should remove this haze. It's good for daily cleaning and light scratches. For anything else, the 3M stuff that you have should work fine.
