What product do you use to wipe the BRZ top dash?

Hey guys, I wanted to know what kind of products you guys use to wipe down the top of the dash board in the BRZ? It has like a rubbery feel to it.

Do not use Armorall or similar products. They attract dust. The best product is H2O.

I use a microfiber dust cloth or Swiffer wipe, and wipe often to avoid dust/dirt buildup. I apply this method to any car, new or otherwise.

I also use 303 aerospace on all my cars. A bit pricey stuff, but I think it's the best.

You can get it from amazon.

I just use a bare microfiber cloth to wipe off the dust. No chemicals.

When I first got the car, the whole interior was coated with some shiny stuff. It was all over the door panels, center console, they even put it all over the steering wheel which made it super slippery...and it was also all over the dashboard, which made it impossible to see out the windshield due to glare.

I've tried using P&S "Island Shine" since we have the full line of P&S detailing gear at work...that didn't work very well either. Again, it was just way, way too shiny. I wiped that off and never looked back. I like a matte dashboard
