That's a good question, sorry I don't have a definitive answer for you. Here's my take....it's painted so you'd want to treat it like you would your paint. That goes for all of the dashes not just body color.

I'd start with a microfiber towel and plain old water. Since smooth interior parts really don't get very grimy, you will be unlikely to need anything else.

I QD my dash to keep it looking nice. Only the painted portion, of course.

What??? You don't use 43 different Zaino Brother's products in a specific sequence on your dash? Shame on you!

I plan to Zaino the painted dash sections and use QD.

Until that point, 1:10 diluted 303 cleaner should do fine with a microfiber to remove fingerprints etc.

Are you sure the OEM colored dash is painted, as in with car paint? It seems like it might be colored plastic or something else.

I do find that Plexus works great on plastic (and many other) surfaces.
