Dash cleaner

My dash is looking a bit drab, I use a non gloss dash spray cleaner but although clean it still looks dull. Would the gloss cleaner be OTT or is there a 'semi gloss' out there that looks better.
What's your recommendations as its looking clean but a little lifeless at the mo Thumbs Up

I use Autoglym. You get the choice of gloss or satin finish depending on how you apply it. I use the satin finish. John

Dont use the gloss shiny finish stuff, it makes it look all cheap and nasty. Wink

damp cloth with a weak solution of all purpose cleaner, wiped over and then again with a damp cloth with clean water, that will get rid grime and previous products

then a spray and wipe over with Aerospace 303 Protectorant, can use it on all plastics inside and out, including all the engine bay, by far the best product i have used

see a video of it in action via this link Thumbs Up

Again, reading the spec its also a Satin finish.
Seems to be the preferred choice of finishes, now to decide what to buy.

i normally have a 100ml bottle in the car, which i use my larger bottle to top it up with

If you have a small 50 to 100ml spray bottle I could donate a little to see what you think, or wait till Coniston (if i can still make it) and try some on your dashboard whilst they are eating scones Laughing

Thanks for the offer Nick Thumbs Up , like you I don't know if I can make Coniston (my wife's walking weekend in revenge for me going to Cornwall on my own, and I can't leave the dog at home all day).
I see Amazon has it on its site so I may decide to add it to some other items I'm buying.

2011 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Galway Green

Can I just clarify: when talking about the dashboard in this thread are people including the leather(?) covered area in front of the passenger seat and above the radio/sat nav etc?

I tried some 303 on that area earlier but it ended all streaky and dull. It was quite hot and in direct sun light so not sure if that was the problem? FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green
