| Grand Stilismo | How do you get yours Clean ? I have found that the Stilo dash is a bugger to clean (polish) the slight ripple in the plastic seems to shread the cloth I use leaving littles bits of fluff eveywhere. Whats the best way to get a nice shiny dash ?

Have you ever tried them sponge things, i think they are coated in some sort of oil.... #i got my one from morrisons, so i think they sell them in most shops. I use one of them on my dash, and makes it look nice afterwards. Also it wouldn't leave fluff anywhere.

| Italian Stallion | what you mean, it's like those silly shoe shiners! I don't like those, they leave an oily residue and it's a dust magnet.

Probably not too good then, but if you don't have much time to clean the dash/shoes they're magic. Use the shoe one all the time, doesn't compare to the polish though. Tip- don't put it on your steering wheel

| :) | Re: I know........................ I know you probably want a proper cleaner but if you just want dust removal there's actually an amazing product out for dusting which would work fine on a dash. It's one of those items you think "bet it doesn't work" by JML or similar on TV lol. We were told by word of mouth to get one and it's the best non-liquid based dust cleaner. They are big in the US but I can't remember what you should be looking for by name, anyway, it's statically charged I believe and has a sort of waxy feel but it doesn't leave any residue. Not sure if this is what Joe is refering to.

| Italian Stallion | you are talking about a different product Paul, which is great for removing dust but it doesn't physically clean and remove grime so it's not really apropriate, I think we need something a little more substantial, oo-err!

| :) | Re: Nope............................ Fair enough, the thing I am refering to is ok for dusting surfaces at home and small amounts of grime but nothing like a bit of say mr sheen. I reccommend it to everybody, out of memory it might be called a Californian duster? Might be totally wrong though. Not back to the subject...

| :) | Re: Yes Paul.................................... My car? WIth the uno just a bit of Mr Sheen and a polishing cloth (one dry, one for the polish) was fine, steering wheel was very dilute soapy water, windows with window cleaner of course. Never a problem but then again the plastics in a uni are hardly high sheen finish ![]() THe Laguna is yet to be cleaned by me inside.....

| :) | Re: Ambiguous?? Not sure Joe why? I can picture the bottle. Best way to use any window cleaner (be it waterered down vinegar or proper window cleaner) in my experience is to apply with a tea towel (I find dish clothes don't absorb the stuff very well), leave for about 30 seconds when fully cleaned then wipe off with a second tea towel. Again - tea towel is good due to absorbancy. Newspaper also works. That way you get no streaking and a perfectly cleaned window. I like clean windows so that happens more often than I clean my car.
