What do you use to clean your faceplate?

I usually swiffer the little bugger to get the dust off and microfiber towel it up (with light pressure) to do the best I can with the finger smears, but I haven't dared use anything to actually clean it for fear of scratching or fogging it up.

What do you guys use to give it a good gussy cleanin'? preferred towels, dusters, special wipes, sprays etc.? Don't use anything?

Thanks in advance for your inputs and insights.

Is that before or after you coat it with a booger?

Too much work, plus I'll have to go hunting for a good **** polish first. Maybe I'll just drag my buttery ***** back and forth on it and see how that works.

Curious. Have you ever used the #1 polish on your plastic instrument panel/gage cluster cover?

windex...

I am looking for something to do my screen and the rest of the dash for that matter, that does not act as a dirt magnet!!!

I just cleaner the whole car two days age, and the radio looks like I skipped it (got more dirt there than the floor) It seams like it has a static charge...

I have this antistatinc stuff I use for my coppier, and I was thinking of using it on the stareo!?! and maybe dash???

any office store like officemax or staples, will have laptop screen wipes. They're like baby wipes, but for, well, laptop screens. Those work quite well.
