Question Cleaning Interior

I have a few Autoglym products and am wondering what to use for cleaning the top of the dashboard.

Can anyone recommend which of their products to use for that?

Thanks.

Red Cooper Aerospace 303

I use Aerospace 303. Really like it. Clean look, not shiny. Good luck.
Motor on.

Also anyone know how to get polish of the interior plastic (BMW Monkey) tried using a Rubber ("eraser"-U.S) but it started to shine it up too much.

Second the aerospace 303. This stuff is great I use it on the black trim around the wheel arches as well as the interior. Not to shiny, not greasy, and lasts better than anything else I've tried. And I've tried most of the products that are out there.

For the polish I would try "Jeffs Wekstatt Interior Satin Prot". It is a cleaner and adds a satin sheen that can be layered for extra gloss if needed.

Aerospace 303 Protectant is also good but it doesn't have any cleaning ability as compared to the Satin Prot.

You can get these and loads of other stuff from Polished Bliss Just tell Rich I referred you! He has lightning fast delivery too.

Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm checking out places to get the 303 Aerospace Protectant on the web. Looks like there is a place just over the border in the US that carries it.

Thanks again!
