I am using a weak dilution of APC and then following it up with Hyper Dressing.

I blow compressed air and use a variety of boars hair brushes to remove dirt. I then clean them with 1Z cokpit premium. i then treat with 303 aerospace protectant

Depends on my mood...

Sometimes its quik Interior Detailor (Meguiars)
Sometimes its Hyperdressing (Meguiars)
Sometimes its Natural Shine (Meguiars)
Sometimes its a damp MF

If I am feeling like smelling grapes (namely when I am about to take a girl somewhere... Grapes always get comments... ), then I use HD. Normal use is QID. In-between or when at a traffic light (must be bored or see dust) is either a MF or a damp MF... If I am too darn tired to go back to the garage to get QID, then I use thse Natural shine that I normally use on the door seals...

We want to know what you guys are using on the Center Stack are on each side of the radio. Not the black normal dash area. The center stack has a very odd texture to it. It also goes down to the center console area.
The areas in this picture that have been painted blue is what we are referring to.

Richard I'm pretty everyone knows that he's talking about that. I wouldn't use anything different on it than the rest of the dash.

First of all I want to make sure everyone knows exactly what he was asking about, as it is different than the rest of the dash in the truck. I personally am not going to treat it the same way as the black portion of the dash as it is different.
Which is why the question has been asked.
From the looks of it a simple wipe down with a damp cloth might do the trick. But he wants to be certain which is why he asked the question. Want to make sure a dressing of some sort isn't going to make it look bad or wreck it.

And since not everyone dashes are the same color it is better to be clear on exactly what he is asking about.

So do you have any advice to offer on it other than your sarcasm?

As you can see by these images not all dashes look the same and have the same grey areas.

good looking interior, I like the blue. but yes I still use VRT on those pieces, even though its a different texture, it still leaves it with a very nice low gloss, non greasy deep finish

I just got my order of 50/50 so im going to go apply it to my stang, I will take some pics of the truck interior, when finished.

I use to use have a ton of detailing supplies , each for a somewhat different purpose, I pretty much tried every megs product available, My car was there display car and used to show easy of applications etc.

this was from carlisle.


as far as interior goes, I use 3 products,

Adams VRT,
Megs Leather wipes.
Zaino Glass Glaze ( i like this over any other glass cleaner I found that it helps reduce in fogging )
