Cleaning the dash of a Z4 roadster

Z FORE · 07-21-2008, 06:48 AM

What is everyone using to clean and restore the look of their plastic dash? My 06 needs to have a little protection added to get the black dash to not look white, but I don't want a glossy, greasy look.

Any suggestions that will give me a clean, new matte black look?

I use Woolite mixed with water 1:10 ratio in a spray bottle.

I am looking for a protectant, not a cleaner. Sorry. Something like Armour All without the greasy, glossy finish.

I use two products on my rough dash and other interior plastic surfaces. RaggTopp vinyl protectant to clean and darken up the rough surface without that "greasy" look and feel. I then use Meguiar's Quik Mist and Wipe Interior Detailer for everyday maintenance on all the interior plastic surfaces.

Does the RaggTopp take the "whitness" away and even out the color?

Yes the RaggTopp product darkens up the rough black plastic without looking greasy and shiny. I apply it with a soft horse hair brush and work it into the rough surface. I then wipe off excess with a microfiber cloth.
