    What does everybody use to clean the dash/interior? I have never had a car with a hard plastic dash so not sure what to clean it with.

    For the top, just a clean terry cloth or microfiber towel slightly moistened. You don't want to use anything to make the dash top glossy! For the rest it depends if you want it glossy or matte, most will tell you to steer clear of Armor All products.

    I use a Steam Cleaner and a microfiber towel, and 303 Aerospace protectant on the plastics and 303 Fabric Guard on the fabric portion.. FYI Armor All has been known to cause cracking in the dash panels, I know, happened to one of my friends cars.

    Ditto. A dash duster and then wipe with a damp cloth. I don't use any chemicals/products on the dash. (Remember, it does heat up quite a bit in the summer). If you're really anal, use cottonbud tips to clean the air vents :D

    I've used 303 for years on my cars, but not on leather surfaces. I've used Lexol for years with great results.

    I think for myself I am going to get a light grey dash cover, my black dash generates so much heat thru the windows it all blows back into the front seats. Also becareful on what you apply on the dash. some products will evaporate onto the windshield and leave a film, and that front window is a pain to keep clean on the inside.

    I just keep a pack of baby wipes in my car and when my dash looks dusty I just pull out a baby wipe and wipe down the dash. I hope that is okay.

    I use a paint brush to clean out my dash vents, just hold my shop vac nearby and brush out all the dust.

    303 always leaves a film on the windshield. After drying the car after a wash, I use the damp towel to wipe down the dash, then the door sils. I also use a sunscreen to keep the dash cool from the hot sun. I bought it here in the Prius Chat store. It works well.

    You could also tint your windscreen (from top to bottom like I did)
