Some APC(All purpose cleaner) by Megs followed by some matt vinyl protectant like 303 protectant should do!

In my not so humble opinion 'Vinylex Protectant'
http://www.lexol.com/vinindex.html

Don't squirt it on as shown in the pic however, squirt it onto a cloth and wipe in, I have used it on my tyres in combination with AutoGlym tyre care to great effect also.

Oh I hope that those pics of Vinylex don't make anyone believe it makes the surface shiny ... it doesn't .... unless your surface is already shiny that is. It leaves a nice flat finish, in fact it does bring the surface to look as it originally looked. Personally I hate shiny dashboards etc.

I find the Autoglim stuff I use gives a great shine and repels dust quite well.

I'm mean and I use a very dilute solution of Fairy Liquid. The Lemon one leaves a very nice small. Wipe off with a damp cloth and then dry with an old tea towel.

More penny pinching ideas soon!
