Instrument Panel

Another usefull tip..........maybe ?

Noticed with th air con on the plastic on the instrument panel is attracting dust like a magnet because of static. So............... I tried Mr Sheen Anti Static polish ( suitable for plastic ) has worked a treat !!! I have used it on the whole of the dashboard and its well worth using
PS.......Make sure it says Anti Static on the tin ! and test a small area first

That's good to know. The inside of mine needs a good dusting so I should do something about it...

angie4m · 6th June 2008, 08:24

I'll give that one a try, although the inside of the car isn't too dusty

I am using armorall cleaning wipes (the purple ones) that do not have any lubricans. Cleaning once a week and leaves the dash as new. I don't know if they are anti-static but the dust collection is minor and Cyprus is among the countries of high dust consentration in the air.

If you havent got a Type R.
Be careful to not touch the plastic surround

Why ?

Its very soft plastic and scratches very easily.
Type R cars dont have it

Rich 11 · 7th June 2008, 20:56

Thanks Robbo I didn't know that

Its more easy to scratch it with microfiber cloth than those wipes i use
