It's me again.

I am curious as to any sort of cleaners that you might recommend for taking care of the inside of our cars. The dash doesn't feel like a hard plastic like I am used to. To me it almost feels closer to a rubber like consistency. I really would hate to ruin my dash or interior surfaces. Anything that you all would recommend?

I have access to your regular cheaper brands and types of car care supplies which I would prefer to avoid at all costs. I would need to order most of everything online.

I really like armoural plastic and interior trim cleaner, you can get glossy or mat, whichever you prefer, and cleans well. Comma always wins auto express best buy here,but lately I've been using a commercial handwipe. Cleans well even the seats and leaves a nice finish.

Golden rule is try it on a small area first where you won't notice if you don't like it out it doesn't like you!

I use Poorboys natural look dressing.
Great results, apply with microfibre cloth to dash and door trim, and all interior plastics (works great on my piano black trim).
Wipe off with clean cloth afterwards.
makes the interior look and smell great, good product.

Hi there.i wouldn't use any cleaner remotely. I like factory look so use damp microfibre cloth and it has worked with all 3 of my minis which were new from my ownership. Hope it helps...
I used to use Meguiars ultimate protectant but now I think I'll just be using a damp microfibre cloth as I don't want inconsistent discolouring over time which I feel would be a side effect of using all these products with chemicals.

After getting fabric protection, the detailer recommends to use a damp microfibre cloth to clean the seats if necessary.

As for interior panels, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. https://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/303_products/aerospace_protectant

Send me a message if you want to try it out, I have some from my S2000 and will be using it on the JCW soon enough.

That 303 stuff sounds impressive, i'll have to come check out your car again sometime. I did a rush job cleaning my car over the weekend and need to fix some swirls in the clear coat so I might be down in the garage tonight around 7pm if you want to head down too.
