I use a soft cotton cloth with glass cleaner. Paper towel seems to scratch it in the long run.

Default I use a paint brush...(more)

I use an new, soft bristle paint brush to brush away the dust and lint from the instrument cluster and in the cracks around the dash trim.

Default Use one of those miracle brushes that absorb dust like a magnet

These work great and it's impossible to scratch with one.

Buy at any household harware store!

I haven't tried it yet, but someone suggested using furniture polish like Pledge. Supposed to work well.

Default The best is to use the cloth available from...

eye glass shops. I believe that they are similar to nylon. The cloth is made for wiping clean plastic without putting fine scratches. It'll do a great job of removing smudges and dust.

NEVER use paper towels/tissue. Paper is made out of WOOD fibers.

I have been using soft cotton cloth with glass cleaner designed for use on window tint

Default Try blowing the dust off first using an aerosol dust remover then gently wipe with lens paper
