i use leather cleaner and protector from auto glym only because it smaell sos good for ages after, and it gives it a low shine finish.

yes i know its not leather but it does just a good as job as most products.

I have the Carplan wipes from Halfords. Use the glass wipes too.

On a side note, the other day I scratched the plastic screen that goes over the "dials", was quickly dusting it with my sunglasses pouch and the end of glasses frame poked out and scratched it Anyone got any ideas on how to get them out - they're only light.

I use either a damp cloth or a damp chamois.

Never use anything else in case I inadvertantly apply that shiny sh*te the really bad dealers use.

I have used a car polish on clear plastics before, its ideal for getting scratches out of CDs too, it stops them skipping.
