what to use on the dash?
i've been using simply green and paper towels... but i don't like the slight amount of lint left behind. now, the microfiber towels should alleviate the lint but any recommendations for something else for the dash? and other vinyl/plastic/aluminum trim parts?

I really dislike simple green for the interior, i cant stand the smell. I use a damp MF towel to clean my interior, works great. If u want a dash treatment, try 303, Zaino Z10, or meguiars #40.

The most gentle method that I like to use is just a damp microfiber towel. The benefit of this is that you can wipe down the entire interior with this method if you wish (even the leather, but stay away from the dirty parts like the carpet).
Simple green on interior elements! It is an industrial strength degreaser, so I don't know what kind of effects you will see on vinyl over time. I think even Viper and I can agree on this one, no? My feeling is that it will dry out the vinyl perhaps. I dunno.
Viper - when you run out of simple green, they seem to be making a foam wheel cleaner. Might be worth a try.

Don't use simple green, you'll kill your dash. I just use a damp towel to wipe off any dust. If you want to treat it, use 303. 303 will give the interior plastics the factory look. The other products tend to be too shiny. I personally don't treat my dash with anything and I've seen no ill effects.
