Default keeping dashboard shiny on nnbs

What are you guys using to keep the dashboard shiny? I tried using meguiars supreme shine but no luck it just leaves oily streak marks on the dash and door panels.

I bought a dashcover long time ago to avoid that issue, dash looks new. Cleaning these dashes with armor all or any type of dash cleaner usually leaves oily stains. Same for door panels.

I like plain soap and water. Ring out the cloth and give it a wipe down. A shiny dash will just shine in your windshield.

Pledge multi-surface is your best friend on plastic. Leaves no residue, works on clear plastic, piano black trim, and chrome and it doesn't streak your windows if you accidentally get overspray on them.

It wont make your dash shine like armor-all, but it will keep it nice and clean

They also make wipes that you can keep in your glove box for those unexpected spills.


Baring that, I also use leather wipes if you want it to be a little shinny. You need to nearly dry one out by using it on all your panels, than go back over what you've done with the almost dry wipe to soak up the residual.
These are the furniture wipes you get at walmart. no use spending double on leather wipes cause they're for automotive use. Same stuff.

I am also not a fan of a shinny dash, so these two cleaners work well for me.

Funny this thread came up , earlier in the week I did my monthly interior clean on my Denali , I use Adams leather conditioner on my seats .
When I was done I took the microfiber towel I used and wiped the dash and door panels , it gave them a nice , clean rich look , before they just looked a tad dry .
