Default some interior questions

I got some invisible window, I'm wondering what kind of cloth I should use to apply it with. I didn't like what I was using today, and parts of it ended up being kinda foggy.

And what should I use for the dash, console, and stereo area? Any recommendations?

Oh yeah, how the hell do you clean the lower part of the wind shield, I struggle going any farther down than halfway... it's at too much of an angle, and maybe my massive forearms are too massive, dunno.

********** less! lol im just kidding. If that were the case i couldnt get INTO my car..

Anywho.. i like micofiber towels a lot for this kind of stuff. Do a wash and dry cycle a few times with the towels before you use them on your car to reduce lint as much as possible.

As for the dash ect. there is a cleaner for sale at most places that sell car washing supply. DO NOT GET ARMOUR ALL!!! NO NO! In most cases its a spray on whipe off type. Might be better off to spray it on a towel and use it like that. its cleaner that way.

theres that. the fact that its sticky makes dust and dirt stick to the plastic, not just sit on top. It dries out your vynal and will make it crack. If you use it once, you better use it forever.

I use to use Armour All Natural Finish protectant and cleaner, it worked out fine for me, but doesn't give you a nice shine. Now I use Meguiars Gold Class Vinyl/Rubber Protectant (you can use it on plastic too.) That stuff is great, gives you a rich shine and isn't greasy. It doesn't do what 350rs said and stick like some other ones. To answer the original, question use microfiber cloths. You can get packs of them from Costco and Wal-Mart for less than $15, and they should last you a while.

I don't like ArmorAll because it outgases and fogs up the windshield. I usually will just clean it with a mild cleaner and a damp cloth

I've been using Armer All for years. I like the gloss it gives. I'm good about cleaning my car, so usually I don't have a dust problem. The stuff is so cheap, so I us it often. Never ever once had any complaints about it, except for when I get it smudged on my rims...
