Default No shine dash cleaner?

I am looking for a dash cleaner that does NOT leave a shiny/glossy appearance like Armor All.

303, great stuff has sun protection and leaves a matte finish, non greasy.

Any of the "natural finish" cleaners, including Armor All, will leave the finish you want.

A damp rag will do it.

Usually it's just a towel to get the dust off, sometimes a damp cloth if needed.

BUT if I get fancy (which is about once a year) I will use Meguiar's Natural Shine interior stuff. Works well and isn't greasy or glossy.

I really don't know what would be the best product to use that won't leave a glossy finish .... but I can tell you a product that I have found that DOES NOT work well at all on the dash:

LARD

Don't use it !

That might work well for leather. I used to use Mink oil on my boots, but the Mink died.

Here's a great little tool for dusting dash or other hard to reach places.
Measures about 22 in long. Walmart for $6.87

I was amazed at the results I got on my dash from using a wrung-out lint-free rag with water and a dab of dishwashing soap.
