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

Spray it directly on the MF towel

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.
