Dashboard cleaning / maintenance?

[dapiya]

Forget the stainless steel, what is everyone using to clean that giant lint collector of a dashboard??

My first go with a swiffer duster made it worse.

I’d also take any pro tips on keeping the exterior plastic trim protected and looking nice.

For the plastic trim i have been using 303, so far so good.

Great idea! I’ll give the roller a shot.

I bought some of that 303 last year for some patio furniture. I didn’t realize it was used on cars too. Thanks

How about an N scale model railroad diorama with mountains, lakes, and trees, tunnels and trestles, a switching yard and a small town?

HO might be OK there.

My son said that is where the lawn chairs obviously go. I could but help laugh. I think the lint roller someone posted to clean that big fuzz crack out is great idea. Trying myself later today as well

I like all the ideas that have been presented.

But before anyone goes too far in the planning stages, don't forget that the color is chosen on purpose, to keep the glare down. Stick some white pieces of paper up there and see if you can drive with it.

The N-Gauge and HO-Gauge, I love, but impractical.

I don't think that there is a re-railer that can take the train from the back seat and put it back on track on the dash.

You, know, after you do a launch!

PSA: Trains on the dash only during Cybertruck charging sessions

For me, cleaning the very bottom of that window is the big problem. Anyone have a favorite tool for that? It’s so narrow down there! My tint guys did a bar at the top and clearly used some spray that dripped all the way down. Those drips have been there two months now!! I bought a little squeegee but it doesn’t fit!!

Armour all wipes worked well for me
