    what to use for dashboard and panels??

    should i use a dedicated interior cleaner like dp or use an apc? i know alot of ppl use an apc but what apc should i use?? i dont have a spray bottle so ill have to pick up one of those as well. i need to keep this low cost if at all possible but if need be i can spring for the dp or whatever since im only goin to use this on my own vehicles.

    also are these any good for apply paste waxes? using the foam pad by hand is killing me for the vehicle lol
    Carrand Gripper™ Microfiber Applicators 2 Pack, wax applicator pads, microfiber pads, polish pads

    thanks guys!!

    This is what everyone is probably going to tell you

    APC - Optimum Power Clean™ All Purpose Cleaner 128 oz. Refill
    Interior protection - Ultima Interior Guard Plus 12 oz., interior protectant, rubber & vinyl protectant, dash dressing

    I've only used this for the interior so far
    Sonus Total Eclipse, exterior trim protectant, dash dressing, rubber dressing, plastic protectant

    even after doing a OPC wipe down my microfiber application pad was getting really dirty still when applying this product so it seems to have a bit of cleaning power too. Ordered up the Ultima Interior Guard during July 4th and since AG still haven't shipped it yet I haven't tried it yet. But everyone on the forums love it.

    Not quite everyone, I'm a big fan of Poorboy's NL. Good cleaner and protects without grease or shine. And customers love the vanilla/coconut smell.

    One reasonably priced product (now on BOGO!) replaces 2 or 3

    poorboys nl is great. i also really like the dp cleaner and protectant too so either one of those would work well

    1:10 should be more than enough for dashboard. I use Optimum Power Protectant and it does a decent job in cleaning & protecting

    I did 3:1, about to make a new 10:1 dilution bottle for exterior (engine bay really) and interior and have the 3:1 as a backup.
