i dont think most tC owners use what i use, but i like the results from my previous cars

on the dash, i first used Armor All UV protectant wipes, let it dry and cleaned off the excess left from the whipes with California Brush. I clean the dash with the California Brush every week, but only used the UV whipes once.

for the interior trim pieces, i.e. steering wheel,shift boot,doors,cupholders,etc.
Armor All UV protectant whipes (keeps nice shine to it)
whipe down dust,etc. with the California Brush once a week as well
i have no rear interior, so its no biggie
i use Auto Solutions window cleaner, since i take it from my dealer.

hope that helps

i use meguiar's nxt tech protect

also scionbandit's idea of using a "california brush" is good too... just buy the small ones they have.. it's a great thing to have around.

whats a good solution for cleaning the xB dash? I REALLY want to sta away from Armor All simply because I hate the feal of the grease when I've finished. I used it on my wifes Rodeo last week and got in the truck last night and about slid out before I even got buckled in...... So any good Ideas for the dimples on the dash?


Thanks in advance!

I use warm water and a micro-fiber towel.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The reformulated AA is great on tires. The best bang for buck for a water based dressing for tires.

For your dash, just use an APC diluted 10:1 or use Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer.
