Use with a lint free cloth. It’s amazing how much crap it removes. :thumbsup:

Do you want to clean it or dress it ? I use Autoglym Interior Cleaner and a microfibre cloth :thumbsup:

Personally I wouldn't use any silicone based dressing such as the Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care. They impart a finish onto the surface which may well reflect on the inside of your windscreen on a sunny day, and they do not actually remove dirt but rather they just cover it up. A good APC (All Purpose Cleaner) such as Koch Chemie will also clean any interior or exterior surface before dressing if desired :thumbsup:

Wipe mine over regularly with a damp one of these its also great for giving the top a quick wipe over on damp summer mornings.
