What should I use to clean my dash?
Has anybody try cleaning their dash yet? This material is so much different from anything I've seen on any car before, that I'm afraid of using just anything. I recall someone posting something about the Armer All being bad for the dash. Is this true? and if so is it just the one that leaves your dash shinny or the one that just cleans it without leaving it shinny?or both? I want to use the one that cleans only(no shinny left over). Thanks.

From my one past experience with armor all (only used it once), it left my interior all shiny and oily looking. If you miss a spot with it, you'll see it, which means you'd have to go over that spot again with something that you're not gonna want to use. From that point on, I just used a damp cloth to wipe up any dust and clean the surface. I'd then go over it again with a dry cloth to soak up any excess moisture that might have been left, as to not ruin the dash or leave spots/streaks. I know there is probably something that you can use to clean the dash that won't leave it looking cheesy, but I'll let someone else name what they use.

if the tC dash is anything like the xB dash , I have found that swiffer dusters get the dust off rather well and then use a damp cloth to get off any spots you may have, and then I go over it again with the swiffer duster to remove anything left by the damp cloth.

stupid troll but anyway I use a damp cloth then a dry one to soak up the moisture like blue tc was saying. You can also use windex (yah I know) it works wonders, but stay away from the armor all it attracts alot of dust and over time can crack the dash if not used on a regular basis. There is some sort of chemical that reacts to the sun once you stop using the armor all that causes a slow detoriation.

What do people use for the interior glass? Also, if you respond please note whether you have tinted windows or not.

I use "Invisible Glass" made by Stoner. (Inside and out.)
The interior of my xB is 'box stock'. (Sorry for the pun.) 
"Invisible Glass" works EXACTLY as advertised. This is the best window cleaner I have ever used.
I found it at Pep Boys. Advance Auto Parts carries it now, too.
Target. . . Wal-Mart - I dunno.
