Title: Dash cleaner
Post by: GKCigar on November 07, 2014, 09:53:16 pm
DW wants me ask what is the best products to use to clean and preserve the leather dash area.
All help would be appreciated.

Is the dash leather or some form of vinyl/pleather/Nauga?  Our '03 is a molded synthetic something and the easiest cleaning method is a microfiber cloth and warm water.

Greg,

I like to use Protect-All.  It's good for almost all surfaces and has many applications.  I use it on the dash, seats, etc.  You can use it often with no buildup and it gives excellent UV protection.  Many rvers swear by it and it's sold at many places including Walmart.

Greg,

Leather Soap and Leather Care from the Wash Wax All folks.

Originally designed for aircraft interiors.  Works great on my coach and cars.

Thank you all for your replies. DW really appreciates it.

Michelle, I'm sure it is probably pleather or the like.

This did a far better job of cleaning all of the dash and seat surfaces than anything else I've tried.

Amazon.com: Lexol Leather Cleaner, Conditioner, and Vinylex 16.9 oz. Combo Pack (http://www.amazon.com/Lexol-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner-Vinylex/dp/B002ZBPXGS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1415493113&sr=8-4&keywords=lexol)

I was actually kind of grossed out that I had been sitting on such dirty seats and that the dash area was so dirty, once they were cleaned and conditioned.  Use the cleaner, then the conditioner.

Thanks Robert, I'll give that try. The vinyl on the dash is stickey feeling, I thinking about replacing it.
