Default gs430 black interior, what should I use to clean?

I know about Lexol for the leather but what about the dash. My dash is SO full of dust and with black interior its really noticable. I usually use those electronic dust wipes to get the dust off but you can only do that so many times before smudges from rain, etc. show up and it needs something wet to clean it up. What do you guys use?

Vinylex (Lexol for vinyl). I usually wipe it lightly with cheese cloth to get up loose dust first.

I just use the damp towel I used for drying the car. It picks up all the dirt, dust and pollen on the dash. If I only kept my windows up when I drove the dash would remain clean, but that won't be happening until winter hits.

I've been cleaning black leather Lexus interiors since 1996. For shine, maximum gloss, Detailer's Advantage. For showroom new, light soap and water. For in between, Formula 2000. Lexol for leather, apply with hands cause if u put in on cloth, the cloth absorbs the Lexol. Always clean in a shaded area.

I keep my windows down 97% of the time and it still gets really dirty.. it must be the area and the fact that I run the AC a ton (ever been to st. louis in the summer? dear lord)
