Default another dash question

so I did a $hitload of reading and went out and bought some Aerospace 303 for my dash and other plastics, I do not have a leather dash. Well I guess i must work on my reading skills because i was thinking that the 303 was a cleaner also. I have a bottle of Lexol ph for cleaning Leather, would this ok to use as a cleaner for the dash before I use the 303?

you can use several cleaners on the dash as needed before using 303 Protectant. I often use a damp towel with just a hint of APC on it. Works well and leaves no residue. Just make sure the product being used is safe for the material its used on. (and you can test in small area first, as desired).

APC = All Purpose Cleaner - Not sure about the Lexol, but unless its really dirty, a damp cloth is likely all that is needed.

I havent used the Lexol Cleaner is years. It will likely work ok, but might leave some residue. Test with care. I prefer to keep a bottle of Optimums PowerClean on hand for these cleaning needs personally. It can be diluted and used in just about every circumstance needed.
