What is a good product to use on your instrument cluster without dulling or scraching the plastic ?
Also what is good for the dash ?
Thanks
 
I bought a camel hair brush. It is very soft and will not scratch the instrument panel or dash. You can pick one up at the local hardware store. Make sure it is 100% camel hair though. Its works great, gets in between all nooks and cranny's. Works great on the doors around all the door locks and power window buttons.
 
I use one of those air-duster spray cans of compressed air, like for the computer, to get the dust off of the clear plastic, then wipe the rest of the dash. It works great in and around all the cracks, vents, buttons, too.
 
The only thing I use is this funny looking red automotive duster. It's kind of in the shape of a pie-cutter or server.

I made the mistake of trying to "armor all" parts of the dash before, and it was too much of a PITA. :)

I think it looks just as good left alone, if dust-free.
 
For the plastic on the instrument cluster.....
- Dust weekly with MF towel or soft brush....
- Clean as required with water & MF
- Polish with PLexus or Meguiars plastic polish products

For dash board....
- Dust weekly with MF towel or california dash duster...
- Clean with Damp MF towel
- Protect with 303 or similar (can use Zaino Leather in bottle or similar for a different look)

HTH
 
Use Meguiar's plastic cleaner and polish. It works wonders on clears plastics including tailights. They have available a separate cleaner and separate polish.
first use the cleaner is really dirty then polish.
 
I use the vacuum with a soft brush upholstery attachment. Works great for the vents and controls, also.
