Cleaning the 'grainy' matt black dashboard

Post by bronze stallion » Sat Mar 07, 2009 1:45 pm

Hi everyone,

Had my z4 two days now. Can anyone help me with what to use to clean the interior black dash area. :? The grainy effect is making it difficult to remove most stuff I am using to try and clean it.

Thanks.

i use a microfiber cloth and some common interior cleaner, does the job - dont use a soft white cloth like i did - bobbles everywhere!

I use BMW interior cleaner. Put it on with a chamois and that is it. :D

Just a thought...would a tack cloth work?

- the cloths used to remove dust when preparing bodywork...sticky but dont leave a residue.
