Default Cleaning Dashboard of ES 350

I have black interior and I have a problem cleaning the dust from the pebble finish of the black dashboard. I don't want a shiny finish. I just want the dust removed. All towels, both cotton and the micro towels, leave lint when I clean. Any suggestions?

That's a tough one. Most dashes finishes nowadays are designed primarily to reduce reflections and glare. That makes them harder to clean. If you use your microfibre towel, and follow that up with a vacuum brush cleaning, that should help catch most of the lint.

Microfiber towels should not leave lint behind. Have you dried your mf towels with terry towels? the lint will stick to the towel and leave it on the dash. Also, use some water to slightly dampen the mf towel to make sure you don't leave lint behind. You should also consider using a vinyl protectant to prevent fading and cracking of the dash.
