I have a Titan and for the interior I use our Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner or the VRT, it cleans it up very well. It also has a good "scent"

A high gloss dressing on the dash can be dangerous if it reflects in the windshield and makes it hard to see. The easiest thing to clean the interior is a good window cleaner or a aerosol window cleaner (ammonia free of course) and wipe it down with a micro fiber towel. hope it helps

I use my shopvac with a soft brush car adapter and clean my dash. It gets the dust off. Then I use Meguirs wipes to clean it more

i think honestly if you keep you truck/car in good shape as in cleaning it often you can just use water haha but i sometimes use Meguiar.

I wouldn't use armor all on anything. Their products, especially their interior, SUCK. Greasy, dirt attracting, UV passing crap.

Since it's an interior product smell means a lot. I personally like Turtle wax F21 super protectant. Doesn't attract dust, and kept my grand prix looking good for 4 years. It also doesn't feel like the underside of a mcdonalds wrapper.

I use the California Exterior Duster on my Tundra everyother day!!!! But your comment makes sense! Does the lambs wool not hold dirt? I also use the California Interior Duster...any feed back on these?

Thanks

what i do is use mild soap and water..wipe it down. then give a very thin layer of armor all. too much of armor all just attracts dust

As long as you're doing that to your Titan that's cool! I'm surprised you'de do something like that, the soap and water will dry it out and the Armor All will FCK it up!! Bad! Just sayin bro!

That's cool, I actually don't know what the heck the Tundra dash is made of but is kinda porous. There is a thread where guys are talking about Tundra dash care and it just got so strung out I lost track of it. Haha!

Hmm...I used 303 on every piece of plastic I have for the first time last week. I thought it was awesome...especially on the plastic for the rear bumper.

Don't use anything with silicone.

They do hold the dirt very well. What you need to do is "shake" off the dirt after you do a section. You do this by "twirling" the duster. You see all the crap fly right off. I do this almost daily, keeps it looking fresh and clean all the time. I follow it with our detail spray. Dont really have to wash it but once a month.

I use the same thing for the interior. Try it out see, if you dont like you always have a duster for the house
