Got my new car yesterday and it is great and really pleased with it.
Noticed the dash is soft touch rubbery type and wondered what you guys are using to keep it clean and dust free with?

I use one of those pledge fluffy dusters to keep the dash area looking respectable.

I use a hairdressers hand brush. Soft bristles, ideal for the face of the SYNC system as well, as the bristles are very soft. Purchased from greedybay - oops, sorry eBay

Try AutoGlym - Vinyl & Rubber Care.

Depending on how you apply it you can have a high sheen or a low sheen. Comes in a spray bottle - spray on a cloth, not the vinyl as you will get over-spray. Can be used inside and outside and gives a tough anti-static finish. I have used it for many years.

Use a polish which contains Carnuba for a showroom shine. It is hard work to polish it off but worth the effort.

I don't work for Halfords or AutoGlym

but I think these products are invaluable for keeping your car in showroom condition.

Thanks guys, i will try the AutoGlym product as i have used others in the range before and have been satisfied.
Hoping to just get away with shampoo and water for the exterior as the dealer provided progaurd for the bodywork and interior upholstery.
Apparently it doesn't need polishing for 6 years but we will see. I'm sure i will treat it to a good coat of wax before the winter arrives.
