Default Dash Cleaning
I just bought a 2005 S2000 last weekend. I was wondering what all you guys used on the dash. I know that on my old 350Z that the dash only needed to be cleaned with soap and water (no Armor All, etc). What is everyone's thoughts?

Use a protectant like 303 with UV protection once a month. I just use a MF towel to dust it in between applications.

agree...
remember with a convertible, your interior is your exterior!!

so it needs extra protection from the sun and elements.
303 is a good product, so is vinylex.

How do you avoid the 303 to get on your windshield when applying it on your dash?
Thanks,
Tim

After application let it sit for a minute, then buff it with a MF towel. Leaves a nice matte finish.

I also recommend 303!!!!
303 Aerospace protectant
Apply to a MF applicator, let set for a few minutes then buff off the remaining product.
Repeat once a month or sooner if the top is down.

Check your local boat shop. I've seen 303 in more than a handful of shops.
