i love canned air to blast away the loose stuff, dust and flakes. then i use http://www.monstercable.com/productDisplay.asp?pin=2105 to clean the wood trim and the instrument panel. i haven't had the clean the urethane dash yet, so anybody's rec. for that.

I guess I just don't like the sticky residue and shine it leaves.

the main reason why people use the "additional" things are mainly for UV protection......repelling dust is just a bonus.....

Remember, Armor All isn't just one product. This product seems to be a nice blend of UV protection without leaving glossy residue:
