How do I clean my Patina Dash?

I have had my MINI for about 2 weeks now and I love it! I have washed it both weekends that I have had it. But I do not know what to use on the Patina door handels, golve box and dash areas. Last thing I want to do is mess up the "brushed" finish or leave a nasty residue. Any advice would be great!

A slightly damp microfiber will do almost everything your dash should encounter. A bit of 303 aerospace cleaner (diluted 1:10 w/ water) could help if you get something greasy on there, but the microfiber and a sprinkle of water should take care of it.

I keep a swiffer duster hanging in my garage for a quick interior wipe down, but my anthracite painted dash shows dust more than alloy patina.
