I use a mini California Duster...not sure if they sell this anymore...
Isn't it the same as using a swiffer duster? I read that the California Duster has some sort of oil on the fibers. We have a spell here in TN with pollen. In the spring I can dust the truck 3 times a day, even if kept in the garage and the swiffer works great.

The California Duster for the exterior has a paraffin wax on it to grab and hold the dust. When new you should wrap it in a paper bag for a couple of days to get rid of the excess oils. They actually work better the older and dirtier they get. The mini duster doesn't have the paraffin wax on it.

A damp cloth, dry 'er down, and then 303. I used Armorall for years, and never had a problem. But, then I found 303, and switched. The 303 doesn't have the greasy base like Armorall.

Mine is nearly 20 years old...I don't think it had any wax on it to begin with...

I, like many others, use 303 protectant and have for years. I have recently learned about 303 Graphene, and it's awesome as well.

Hey gents what does everybody use to clean the top of the dash? Armor all? Just a wet cloth? I always heard the rumor armor all eventually cracks the dash board in years....just curious what everybody uses....
Water and cloth, according to Chris Fix on YouTube.

Just heard about 303 and got a bottle yesterday. I bought it hoping it will help with the exterior plastics looking like crap on the Ranger and my sweethearts Cadillac. It works pretty good on the dash and I did my tonneau cover as well and it looks like new.
