Need recommendations for cleaning/protecting above dashboard

[smartblonde]

I purchased a 2023 Machine Grey 2.5S Preferred package with Parchment leather interior in March 2023 after my 2009 Toyota Camry XLE was hit and totaled (only 57K miles ). I'm loving my first Mazda and am looking for guidance on what products to use for both the interior and exterior; it is garage kept. I especially want to know the best product to use on the gray portion of the dashboard to remove a few little scuffs & dust and keep it looking new. Thanks!

303 Products are generally considered the gold standard for this type of thing. Presumably they have a cleaner (if not, use Armorall cleaner) and then go over it with 303 Protectant.
PS: your "gunmetal grey" is actually "Machine Grey" in Mazda-speak.

Thanks, I stand corrected about the Grey.

I have been using Hybrid Solutions Inside Job with good results. All of their stuff smells nice, too.

I watched some YouTube videos of people using those products and they look really good. Do you use a damp microfiber to apply? and what about wiping after applying?

For the interior I spray into a cloth (outside the car) rather than onto surfaces. I'd rather not try to get cleaners off my windshield, etc. I use nicer microfibers usually.
