Just watch what you use on it mate and always do a test area under the dash where its not seen as some cleaners/protectors make the glue soft that holds the flock fibres on. The best way we have found is to use the nylon brush attachment on the vacuum cleaner.

One of those furry rollers people use to get fluff off suits.
I know loads of people who swear by them on e36coupe.

You do have to be gentle with flock. I'd personally be wary about using product's on it... As gibbo said, one of those rollers or a hoover with a brush head on would probably be the best idea.

When we flock stuff, we just hoover it, should be no need to use products on it. Or if mud etc on it, just wet sponge eg from kitchen and just wet the area, dob it.. Don't rub.

As above you dont wanna start putting anything on it, just use a brush attachment on a hoover. They do pick up lots of shit though just one of the downsides of a flocked dash.
