Cleaning dashboard question
I noticed my dashboard collects a lot of dust and lint, and simply wiping is not helping much, could be static, or other reasons, it just doesn't look as nice as it used to, and I only have about 4k miles.
While I am not a fan of armor all type of glossy products, I am searching for suggestions on how to clean it best and keep it looking uniform. Any suggestions? The dashboard's surface feels tackier than rest of the interior, so I am hesitant to use a random cleaner or "interior" cleaner type of products.

The great thing about CarPro Perl is that I use is as is on the tires and it leaves a satin look on the tire.

I’ve used both einszette and Audi’s cockpit cleaner. Both are excellent, with anti static properties. I like Audi’s a little better, as it ‘evaporates’ to a nice streak free matte finish with very little effort. Pricy, but lasts a long time.

I live near a WeatherTech factory so when I went to pick up the cargo mat for the Q7, I also picked up a leather conditioner and interior detailer spray.

Seems to be working and protecting well enough. We don't see as much dust because it's garage-parked but maybe that changes when the weather gets a bit warmer.
Otherwise, on our other cars, I bought those Meguiar's canisters of wipes for leather and another for the plastic/console material and those worked well too.

Take a microfiber cloth, and dampen one end. Use damp end to gently wipe away dust, use the other dry end right away to gently dry. I do this for all my cars and the materials remain nice and clean

Just a thought, if the dashboard material does actually have a static issue and it is indeed collecting more dust due to that, would running a dryer sheet across it help??
