I looked in all different subjects of the section but it didn't seem to discussed yet.
The question : what solutions do you guys use to clean all the plastics inside the car, especially the bulky parts like the whole front panel and windows frames ?
Just water and sponge ?
Cheers,
Eric

I agree with JJRS4. No solution at all if it is just dusty - water is fine. If it is real bad, then Autoglym interior cleaner. I never use a polish, as you end up with shiny plastic which looks crap (IMO). Generally a damp or dry cloth is enough.

OK, I have a confession to make : my dashboard on the passenger side gets VERY dirty on all cars.
Due to my standard four-leg hairy passenger who uses it to lay his head on and watch the road for me.
So I've got water, mud, hair, saliva and whatever hangs around the beard of a large dog after a walk in the forest.
Shoudda bot a defender, i kno

Modified approach then.....
Damp towel with washing up liquid - damp towel to rinse - dry towel in quick succession.
Anything else makes it shine.
