Hello

My dashboard is constantly picking up dust as is the screen, gage clusters etc. What do you guys use to clean it? I’m not sure what the material is, maybe a synthetic leather ?

Whatever you want to clean the dash with... I personally am not a big fan of chemical guys I know a lot of people like there stuff. I use duragloss there car wash soap is awesome as is a lot of things they sell... for the screen I just keep a very fine/soft micro fiber in the glove box that is made to wipe screens like we have

Microfiber cloth is normally good enough. Maybe a damp towel if you need it (not on the Alcantara though!). I don't believe the CTR has any leather bits on the inside of the vehicle; it all seems to be either soft touch or hard plastics which leads to a lot of rattles down the line.

Edit: for the Alcantara, use a suede brush and eraser. Treat it like suede and it should do fine.

I use Adams Interior cleaner it smells great and leaves a new like clean to it not an oily wipe over like armor all does. Love all Adam’s products that I have tried.

Adams is pretty good kinda like griots line of stuff very similar... I just feel bad for everyone that’s from California.. you guys get junk because everything good with a product they take out because it may cause cancer. Idk how you guys do your brakes with the brake cleaning products you guys get that never dries an doesn’t work. I feel for you guys!

Always used ArmorAll ultimate detail wipes and Invisible Glass (made by Stoner) Wipes for the interior of my cars. Have never had a problem and always been happy.

I’ve tried tons of interior cleaner/protectors. My go to is Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer. Super easy to use, has a nice matte finish and can be had for pretty cheap. Some people don’t like the smell. I honestly don’t mind it, I think it smells “clean”.

Still using the last of my Turtle Wax Ice. Best stuff ever. Really ticked they stop making it. Have some Meguiar”s interior detailer to try. Glad to hear it’s good.

This stuff is the shit!! It will literally last a couple months. You do not need much an it smells awesome. I have used this for years I bought 3 cans 6 years ago an I still have 3/4 a can left time to order some... you can use it on a lot of things on your car it says on the can. It will shine a little bit. A little goes along way with this stuff goodluck
