    Right know I use a couple of drops of dish washing detergent in a spray bottle of water and wipe down the dash door panels etc.I went to oreillys and it was confusing to find out what to use.Because you have the smoked clear plastic over the radio black console etc.So what does everybody use. I don't like armor all. Please help I would like to buy just one product for all the hard panels in my truck. Thanks to all that help.

    I understand the hate for a greasy residue that can be left by things like armor all but, when i had my 05' i used a soap/water mixture to clean and a micro fiber cloth with a small amount of armor all and i little elbow grease to massage it in and it wont leave that slick greasy residue and it kept the interior in immaculate condition which paid off in a five figure trade in for my 16' taco.

    Meguiar's interior quick detailer. I hate the shiny Armorall stuff, too. The Meguiar's leaves a nice clean look without the gloss.

    +1. I heard from a chemical engineer once that chemicals that smell like cherry are the worst to inhale. Too bad they smell the best.

    I don't get the inside dirty.

    The dust I wipe away with a damp microfiber cloth every so often.

    I keep rags in my truck and after I run it through the car wash I use the rag on the back window & mirrors. Then, with the damp rag, I wipe down the interior then the same rag gets used on the wheels to get them cleaned up better if they haven't been hand wiped in a while. If not, then I can reuse the rag. Once it gets dirty it gets wheel duty then I replace with a clean rag and repeat. I don't use any chemicals in my interior.
