Are there any good product to clean our dashboard and the plastic?

I used vinyl-x one time, and since then I just use a swiffer static cloth to dust.

Some people insist your plastic protectant needs heavy UV protection. I never understood this, since UV rays typically don't travel through glass.

I used armor all cleaner on my beater, which leaves a reasonable shine. I use it on the S2000 top boot all the time. I like it enought that I might use it on the S2000 plastic too.

vinylex on the dash and all plastic except the clear plastic-
plexus on the clear plastic.
i vinylex when i clean the car and carry a rag to wipe the dash in between cleanings- top down it needs to be dusted about every 3rd or 4th day (it is covered when parked in the office garage).

303 aerospace works wonders. I use it on most of the interior including the dash as well as the vinyl top.

Plexus on the plastic window and any sort of silicone spray on the dash is good

303 Aerospace and a MF towel. 303 doesn't leave a shiny surface to reflect back to the windshield. 303 also has a vinyl cleaner you could use if you really need heavy cleaning.

I use a California duster for the dash. Works great!
I live in a dusty area where you need to do it daily

I second the california duster. I hit it every 2 or 3 days and I can go quite a while without doing anything else. When I do apply a protectant, I was using Meguires last season, but I think I am going to try the 303 next time.

I bought the 303 convertible top (vinyl) cleaner and protectant kit a while back, it's working great for me. I use the protectant for the interior once a month, and for the dust in between, I just use Endust (the can spray stuff for computers). I also found that it makes the black top more black.
