Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Dashboard cleaning

    Hi all, just after some suggestions on the best way to clean a B7 passat dashboard?
    And are they a leather or vinyl?

    I have Duragloss leather cleaner and also Autoglym rubber and vinyl cleaner but not sure if they would both be to harsh. Maybe just a microfiber cloth would be safest.

    Any input would be great.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Just do ours with a damp cloth but then nothing ever gets put on it to make it dirty. Only gets dusty

        I haven't used anything but water and a microfibre cloth since they appeared. Anything else tends to fog your windscreen over time when the sun evaporates residue off the dash. Not actually sure why anything else would be needed when its pretty much just dust there otherwise.

          Definately don't use the autoglym rubber & vinyl. This is a silicone based product (as is the likes of armour all - anything that makes it shiny) and this will evaporate off your dash on to your windscreen - this is the biggest reason people have trouble keeping their windscreen clean.

          Edit: I will only clean the dash with a cleaner every once in a while - as others have mentioned, it's mainly only ever dust, in which case a microfibre towel/vacuum will get the job done.
