Dash & Door Panels

What do you guys do about cleaning and protecting your dash and door panels. I've always wondered but never asked if those was leather or vinyl that just looks like leather. Thanks

I use two products from 1Z einszett:

1Z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner - use if there are scuffs or dirt.

1Z einszett Cockpit Premium - use for general/light cleaning/dusting/protecting.

Never heard of that product. Is it sold in the USA. Nobody else cleans there dash. I'm old school. All my other cars I use armor all. But I don't know if its good for the bmw.

Even though the car is just a couple weeks old. The dash looks dry and almost ashy looking.

+1.

Get it on amazon.

armoral is garbage... lots of extra harsh chemicals that slowly destroy whatever your cleaning.

Been using 303 Aerospace Protectant with a microfiber towel since 2008 on all my cars.
Works really well, doesn't dry out the interior and, most of all, isn't sticky after application.

einszett FTW! Their glass cleaner is great as well, and their stuff leaves your vehicle with a clean, fresh scent.

For that nasty arm rest dirt I have used the tried and true Woolite 6:1 mix with a soft brush and rinse with clean water. Works well for me.
