Dashboard carbon fiber cleaner

Jus a simple question. What do u guys use to clean ur evo 9 dashboard and all around.
I usually jus use orignal armor all protectant on my previous cars. But im a lil hesitant on my evo cuz of the carbon fiber dash. And the dash texture on evo seems different from the cars ive worked on. Any recommendations will be helpful. Tnx

I've been using this stuff for a few years. It's amazing

edit: that's for the dash and vinyl, leather, etc... for carbon fiber just use glass cleaner or quick detailer like you use on your paint with a good microfiber cloth

I'd recommend going light on the product that you use and very little pressure with the micro fiber. 303 aerospace is a great all around cleaner for your dash, door, and pillar linings. It doesn't have a strong smell, has UV protection, and isn't filmy.

I use that. Recommended by a friend, leaves no annoying shine like armor-all and does a great job of cleaning

just wash and wax it like the rest of the car. Waxing is especially important if you want to avoid problems with the clear coat, which is common. As for the dash I personally use Meguiar's quick interior detailer.

yep, treat it like your paint and use quality microfibers with quick detailer or whatever. Make sure you learn proper washing techniques - spend a couple of hours on http://www.adamspolishes.com/ and check out the great how-to videos he has

I've had good success with this kit relatively cheap and looks outstanding. http://www.topoftheline.com/smartwax-tol-kit.html

I have never seen it on a shelf anywhere. Maybe in a mom and pop parts store somewhere you may find it. Best bet to order online

Autogeek has it
