You can use a clean, soft rag to gently wipe off the stains and dust on the surface. For gaps, you can use a toothpick, cotton swab wrapped in a rag or paper towel to clean. If the stain is stubborn, you can use a non-alcoholic detergent. During the cleaning process, do not use organic solvents, as it will corrode the surface of the dashboard. At the same time, do not use too rough cleaning tools to avoid scratching the dashboard.
Use the following tools and methods to clean the car dashboard:
Cleaning tools
Specialized cleaners: Use neutral cleaners or cleaners specifically for car interiors, and avoid using strong acids or strong alkaline products to prevent damage to the dashboard material.
Microfiber cloth: This cloth is soft and does not easily leave scratches, making it suitable for wiping the dashboard.
Small brushes and cotton swabs: Used to clean hard-to-reach corners and gaps to ensure that every detail is cleaned in place.
Cleaning steps
Preparation: First use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the dashboard to ensure that the surface is clean.
Spray cleaner: Spray the special cleaner on the microfiber cloth instead of directly on the dashboard to avoid liquid seeping into the electronic equipment.
Wipe the dashboard: Gently wipe the dashboard with a damp cloth, being careful not to leave any water droplets. You can wipe in a circular or up-and-down motion to ensure even cleaning.
Deal with gaps: Use a small brush and cotton swab to clean hard-to-reach areas such as air vents and around buttons, making sure no dust remains.
Waxing and polishing (optional): For piano paint or other smooth surfaces, you can use a dedicated waxing product to polish to restore the gloss.
Precautions
Regularly cleaning the dashboard can prevent dirt accumulation and extend the life of the material.
Avoid excessive force when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface.
Make sure to clean in a well-ventilated environment to avoid inhaling the smell of chemicals.
By using the right tools and methods, you can effectively keep your car dashboard clean and shiny.
