Question Dashboard Cleaning

Newbie here, been reading for awhile, but just signed up now that i finally have my 8!

Question for you, what do you guys use to clean the dash and interior? The dash has 2 different surfaces, do you use the same thing on each? Not sure what to use on those, i keep the dust off, but it's about time for a cleaning!

Also, what do you use on the inside of the doors (handles, etc...) I have water spots on my back door from opening in the rain!

Sorry for all the questions, any help is appreciated!

Interior, Aerospace 303 Protectant, door jambs any quick detailer that you like to use on the outside. In between treatments of 303 I just use a damp cloth.

BTD--Congrats on your new 8! I hope you enjoy it!!

To answer your question, the majority opinion here is to stay away from high-shine products like Armor-All and opt for more matted protection, like 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's available online and at RV and marine/boat stores. The shinier the product, the more dangerous, because it can create a tremendous glare on the windshield when you're facing bright sunlight.
