    I'd use the vinyl product since the material on that dash is most likely some sort of plastic/vinyl product. The leather products will contain oils and other materials to condition the leather that the plastic can't absorb.

    Any APC diluted properly for interior use should be fine. A lot times they can leave a cloudy residue behind, so I like to follow that with a filtered water wipedown and then 303 Aerospace to protect.

    Re: What do i use to clean my dash board?

    I've had great results using a 3 step combined approach:
    1. Swiffer duster to trap and remove light dust
    2. Einzett cockpit premium applied to a microfiber for stains/marks/spots
    3. Followed up with 303 protectant for a long lasting matte finish. I prefer the 303 wipes over the spray since they're easy to work close up to interior glass surfaces.

    Mothers VLR or BF interior cleaner to clean, then treat with UIG +, Aero 303 or Mequires Quick Interior detailer.

    Make sure to dilute APC very good, anything too strong can leave a white chalky residue. I love 303 for interiors, use a generous amount then you can buff it off to leave a nice dark matte factory looking finish!

    Re: What do i use to clean my dash board?

    I use Sonax dash cleaner works great and static resistance. I'm not a fan of using APC on anything on the dash thats just me. I will only use products made to specific areas of the car. I'm not willing to take the chance of damaging my customers cars in anyway.

    Properly diluted P21S Total Auto Wash. Cleans well without a strong chemical smell.

    Mothers VLR followed by their protectant is a good combo as is Mwguiar's quik interior detailer followed by ultimate protectant or any of the ohter protectants they offer.
