Dash/carpet
I notice that the dash in my car is always dirty and not shiny
Is there anything i can use to make it shiney and not as dusty
AND what should i use to clean the carpets in my car. I have tried a few thing but it doesnt work.. No oild or that just general dirt
cheers

On my dash, I put back to black on it and seemed to have worked quite well. Only done it once tho. Might be worth a go although I am sure there are better products on the market.

I dont like the shinny Taxi man dashboard look. I use some dashwipes, About 4quid and they do the job, nothing too tackey and shiney but looks clean.

You can get a dash cleaner in a spray can from halfords it is like a clear slicone spray, you spray it on the dash and then rub it in, it brings the dash up like new and no dust will cling to it.

Poorboy's Natural Look Dressing, applied using a microfibre applicator pad works a treat, and leaves everything smelling really nice - bit like marzipan!
