Hello, This is my first post to this site, and so I hope this question doesn't sound too ridiculous. I own a 2007 Toyota Corolla with the light grey interior. I wanted to ask what most of you are using to keep the dash and side door panels clean. I have been mostly just using a damp warm cloth because I really was unsure about armour all on the particular style of dash. Could some one out there give me some thoughts... it would be appreciated. Thank you!

I just use warm water with a little bit of scented amonnia in it. Just enough to cut any dirt or marks, and it works fine for me. I've tried some of the stuff that's made for cars but hate the residue it leaves.

Armor-All. It will clean the dash and door panels as well as protecting them from drying-out and cracking from the sun. You can also use any common furniture polish if all you want to do is clean the dust off of the dashboard.

But if you use furniture polish be sure you spray the polish on a rag and not on the dash itself. It won't go on evenly if you spray it directly. I made a mess that way.

I personally wouldnt spray any kind of cleaner directly on the dashboard. There is too much risk of overspray that goes on the windshield, and then you really have a mess.

What's funny are all the expensive cleaning solutions on the shelves at the auto stores ...I've bought them before, use them once, don't like them and go back to water lol. Waste of money really.

Baby wipes!!! I use them for everything. It won't damage your interior, (after all, they are very gentle) and they will absolutely clean anything! Great for any little spills on your upholstery, too. I could tell you a million other uses....
