Rough dash cleaner

[Areacode858]

Just curious what all of you use to clean the rough finish on the dash and door panels. In the past I used Armor All but I’m not sure if this would damage the Mavericks rough finish. Ideas please?

Swiffer duster. If there's dirt I use an antibacterial wipe.

The Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer is widely considered the best for regular maintenance. It removes dust, fingerprints, and light grime without leaving a greasy residue or artificial shine, making it safe for the Mav's

California car duster.

Then I go over it with meguires interior cleaner. Suppose to smell like cherry, but i can't smell, so I guess it does.

Microfiber will get down into the texture. I just use a damp (water) microfiber cloth most of the time. If I need more than that, I just use a mild soap. Armor All isn't a cleaner, (unless you're talking about a cleaner product that they make) and it doesn't protect all that well either, compared to more modern protectants.

I use a lot of Adam’s Polishes products and they are great! This interior cleaner is excellent. You can use it on practically all surfaces—navigation screens, seats, and even glass. I really like it because it leaves nothing slick or greasy behind. Just a clean, factory look.

Thank you Maverick members. These replies will help with my decision

Damp towel here and that's it. When I'm done washing the truck, I use the damp drying towel I have left at the end to wipe it down.

This right here. Make sure it's a quality microfiber, like 3M, not a Dollar General cheapie. I like a weak solution of Simple Green as a topical cleaner. Buy it in concentrate, and custom mix your own, pending your task.

I am in favor of a wet sponge or microfiber cloth along with mild detergent (Dawn or Simple Green) for actual cleaning. Then air dry. This way there is no left over chemicals or residue.

This is what I do.

I just use a damp cloth as well. Love Aero 303 but it makes it shiny - at least in my Jeep.
Would definitely stay away from Amor All. There is silicon in there which eventually will dry out the dash, and it will be prone to cracks.

When I bought my 2023 the salesman specifically cautioned not to use Armorall or similar products. He said use only a clean microfiber cloth dampened with water. Nothing else.

Thanks again. Microfiber and a little H2O it is. No chemicals no residue.

My go to is to use Optimum No Rinse mixed with water at a dilation of 1:128. With how little takes to even make a bottle of 16oz of cleaner it is super cheap. to clean with it I normally have two microfibers and I spray the product onto one of them wipe down with that and then dry with the other one if needed. If I need a bit of extra cleaning power I will use a scrub ninja pad. Personally I haven't ran into anything that needs anything past that but I do clean my truck about once a week With onr I haven't ever noticed anything left over and it a rather gentle cleaner so should be all good. You can do a test spot to double check though .
