Dash, door panel cleaning?

What are you guys using to clean the dash, and upper door panels. I tried using my Leatherique with a Microfiber, but the towel snags on the material. Hate the material the dash is made of. Definately going to have everything leather wrapped down the road.

303 aerospace protectant. I use it on the doors, dash, seats, and on the tires.

I agree, the microfiber snags. The ones I use, got from Detailed image. Very similar to this: http://www.detailedimage.com/DI-Micr...18/16-x-16-S1/

These still snag somewhat, so I'm thinking maybe something like a cotton polishing cloth? The 303 is great stuff though..

Baby wipes? they dont leave greasy shiney residue behind? I like my interior as dull as it was from the factory. I 'hate shiny interiors. Leaterique is perfect for that, my only problem was the microfibers snagging.. Tried the cotton wax applicators, and they worked great.

Baby wipes leave a greasy shinny residue? Heck no! Remember these wipes are used on the most sensitive newly formed skin you can find. They use very gentle soap cleaners on a very very soft cloth wipe- can't get much more gentle than this. I've used them on the nappa leather seats before to remove dirt smudges. They work great as an all-purpose wipe for autos.

A friend of mine had a colleague who used baby wipes when cleaning the leather interior on Rolls Royce cars. He swore by them!
