Cool What do you use on your Dash?

Ok, so I had an idea for some Polls, just to get a handle on what people are using to keep their cars clean...

So, for this first one, I want to know what you use on your dashboard! Do you not clean it? (Yech!) Do you use soap and water only? Do you use Armor All (or equivalent) Low Gloss? Armor All (or equivalent) High Gloss?

I just use a moist cotton cloth. I don't like the gloss stuff because when its sunny its causes the dash to glare in the windshield.

Armor-all doesn't list what gloss level the wipes are.

I just use the wipes - no soap or water.

I use Black Magic Semi Gloss Dashboard Protectant. It leaves very little gloss which I like. I don't like having a shiny dashboard. So far it is my favorite for cleaning and protecting the interior pieces.

I use a microfiber cloth... grabs all the dust and leaves the dash looking clean without that greasy feel or look...

I use to use just a moist towel. But I use these little armor all packets i got a carshow, that was cool, i didnt leave it all glossy after it dried. You just have to be sure not to get it on the dash peices, cuz i have that wood looking one.

I would use something that protects from the sun, like prevents cracking, especially if you park outside. Im inside so i dont really worry about the dash.
