Any tips on General Interior Cleaning?? Dashboard, etc.

In particular, proper cleaning of the Burl Wood trim. I noticed last night some very fine hair like scratches in the wood around the shifter. Any way to get those out??

Also, what do people use to clean the COMMAND screen. I don't want to scratch it.

I "am pretty sure" the wood has a "plastic like" coating on it like polyurethane.For that I would use a plastic polish like Meguiars Plastic polish. If that doesnt take the scratches out you might try a paint polish. Then finish with a car wax like P21S or something without cleaning properties.
Here is a link for P21S.

For the nav screen I would use the softest Microfiber towel you can buy. Then spray some "Plexus" on the MF towel and "Gently" wipe the dust and finger prints off.
Here is a link to plastic polishing.
