Cleaning

Post by Demo_202 »

Just wondered what every1 uses to clean their 6n2 dash? I know people use products on the mk4, but its a totally different style of dashboard.

Help appreciated!

I use a damp chamois to wipe the dust away. Also does a good job of removing McDonald's coffee stains from the centre console where it has slopped a bit whilst in the cup holder :lol:

I've got some Autoglym interior shampoo cleaner which my sister's fiancee (an Autoglym reseller) reckons will be fine on the dash and won't discolour or give a shiny finish to the dash. Haven't tried it yet though.

You can get wipes for your car interior in Halfords, I saw one labelled "cockpit cleaner" but again, I haven't tried any of these. My concern would be using a product and finding that it leaves a shiny finish, that would be very undesirable!

The damp chamois though, has tackled every mark or smudge I've collected so far :wink:

I'll have to try that, I hate it when it rains. You have the door open just long enough for it to get wet and hey presto, big water marks :evil:

Hi,

I advise you to get a microfiber cloth and Laquer's All Purpose Cleaner. That's what I use on my car and the result is excellent.

Oddly enough, I used a damp chamois on the door cards the other day and found it cleaned it all nicely 8)

I would hate to use a product that left a shiny dash :x

I have found that must dash cleaners are greasy and give a horrible finish which i dont like

I use a hoover to remove the dust and then use sum warm soapy water to give it a quick wipe over.
