Dash cleaner/undercarriage/ drying towels
Normally when I clean my truck I just wipe down the dust then spray some 303 on a microfiber and massage it in the dash. Recently I have been noticing my plastics being dirty and maybe I should amp up my supplies and get a cleaner for the dash. I was curious on what some people use for a plastic dash? I see a bunch of leather cleaners but this isn't leather. I was thinking about the CG Nonsense but wasn't positive of that route or a Meguiars APC? Also since its plastic do any of you guys/gals use brushes on them?
My next question is in regards to undercarriages. What products have you guys used/like that makes them invisible. Want to really detail the truck and this is one spot I neglected badly!
Lastly it's time for new drying towels. I was looking at the rag company's website and was looking at the Pluffle or the dry me a river Jr. towel, anybody use either of these and have a comment on which one is better? Using normal microfiber towels to dry takes forever on my truck and would like to speed up that process lol.

Re: Dash cleaner/undercarriage/ drying towels
I have very good luck with Meguiar's quik interior detailer on my dash. Light cleaning, no noticeable shine added and is very inexpensive, and works great.
I like Meguiar's super degreaser for my wheel wells. It would work well on undercarriage, accompanied by some Stoner's tarminator for tar and stubborn spots. Megs super degreaser is very effective, has many uses, and is very inexpensive as well. I dont normally dress my wheel wells or undercarriage, I prefer a clean look as compared to a wet look.

I love CG NONSENSE at about 16:1 for general interior cleaning. No scent, no color, just good and safe cleaning power.
For drying I like waffle weave microfiber

Meguiars Gold Class Leather Vinyl Cleaner
I have had really good luck with this on lightly soiled as well as heavily soiled interior plastics, vinyl and rubber surfaces.

Re: Dash cleaner/undercarriage/ drying towels
Megs interior detailer would do the trick. I use Mckees 37 interior protectant. It has a light cleaner in.
For wheel wells/undercarriage, MEGS HYPERDRESSING 4:1 One gallon will make several bottles. Great part is spray and walk away. It will dry to a streak free finish. Great on engines too.
Dry me a river is a very good drying towel. I have the large one. ONE TIP: Flood rinse your truck before drying to remove most of the water.

Re: Dash cleaner/undercarriage/ drying towels
Yea I saw a lot of good reviews on with the dry me a river towel so I was aiming and that, but when I saw the Pluffle I wasn't sure. I'll pick up a couple of the dry me a river first.
Do you guys just use a microfiber towel to clean the plastic dashes? Or use any special tools?
I will check out all the products suggested.

If you have a truck, get at least 3 dry me a rivers. I love mine. The guzzler in the really big size from AG is nice, too.

I can dry my Tundra with 2 dry me a river towels. They soak up a ton of water, and leave it completely dry.
