RE: How Do You Clean The Interior Dashboard Area

Hello fellow X3'ers,

I have a 2011 Alpine White X3 35i with Nevada Beige Interior. On the weekend, I was detailing the X3 on the weekend and struggled finding the right cleaner to clean the dashbaord. There are these black scuff marks in and around the glovebox area and below the wood trim. As you know, it's not a smooth surface and tried various cleaning solutions to get the scuff marks off without success. I even tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser but afraid that it will discolour the dashboard.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vince

I always use the BMW vinyl and rubber cleaner for that sort of thing and it seems to do a good job.

Lexol is a good brand. They make leather and vinyl cleaners and conditioners. I've used their products for years on all my cars and they always look great.

I used meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner for the vinyl especially on the dash, gives it a gloss new look.
On the seats zaino and m sport steering wheel, just can't get enough of that addicting scent.

Hope this helps.
