| Re: How do you clean the dash on a MK2 Octy Poorboys trim restorer and a decent microfibre cloth. If the area is difficult to get into, try Back to Black in spray form.

| Re: How do you clean the dash on a MK2 Octy For a matt finish, I just use turtle wax interior wipes, they seem to do a good job on both parts of the dash. Just make sure they dont touch the screen because its difficult to remove from the glass.

| Re: How do you clean the dash on a MK2 Octy Avoid armour all as for some reason this leaves a very nasty coating on the screen after using it on the dash. The TW wipes are just fine, but I currently prefer to use autoglym interior dash and vinyl cleaner spray with a MF cloth and then using the same MF wipe over a small amount of the leather treatment. This leaves a nice matt lustre without imparting any silicon on the dash

| Re: How do you clean the dash on a MK2 Octy Even water on an MF should do the trick tbh Rob. I love the silky finish you get with Aerospace 303 protectant!

| Re: How do you clean the dash on a MK2 Octy put a bit of card between the dash and windscreen, spray some ag interior v spray stuff on to a cloth so its damp and wipe it using the card to stop any getting on the windscreen. |

| Re: How do you clean the dash on a MK2 Octy A damp lint free cloth. It's only dust that gets on that bit of the dash and it keeps the nice matte finish too.
