what to use on this BMW dashboard?

[imported_thecarguy]

In detailing this car I came across this "textured" dash. What should I clean and treat this with to keep it's matte finish?



Thanks.

303 applied with a foam applicator then buffed out with an MF should work out well.



I used this on a Mini's dash but I don't recall the texture being that great.

I like 303 or 1Z cockpit. both have minimal sheen.

If you like the OEM-look, i highly recommend Meguiar's QID. You can spray it everywhere (including glass) and it will not streak, damage, or leave any residue. Great product for maintenance...One big problem though is that QID contains very minimal UV-blocking agents.



I also like 303 (low shine), but I still buff it afterwards as I prefer minimum shine.

303 on a very very water dampened MF...........

My vote goes to Poorboy's Natural Look, but 303 will do a nice job too, leaving a little more of a sheen. Some people swear by the meg's interior QD, but I've had lousy luck with it.

The Vroom protectant from Target is cheap ($5) and does a great job without adding gloss.

CGs VRT is very nice. I have some Werkstatt Satin Prop, but have not used it yet.

Sonus Cockpit detailer is the only product I'll use on my M3 dash. I haven't used the other products recommended, but love this stuff. It doesn't add anything to the factory matt look.

I've been wondering the same thing for my own car. It has a mesh-like dash. I've been using Meguiars interior quick detailer, but it seems like more of a cleaner than a protectant. What about that Sonus Total Eclipse?

Is the M3 dash like this 528i dash?

if you are not in California, Klasse VLRP. If youre in Californai 1Z vinly and rubber (drivewerks.com)

use both every week on my red dash.

I use Meg's rubber and vinyl pretectant and touch it up with megs QID every once in a while on my BMW and have been very satisfied with the matte look
