Mainly there are three types of car dashboard so beware what to use on them, each require different detergents than the other one.

Leather Dashboards

Stay away from dashboard cleaners that contain even “natural” elements such as alcohol, which will dry out the leather, dull its luster and create cracks. Instead, use all-natural Castile soap — a soap based on olive oil — and a damp rag to clean leather dashboards and all leather upholstery in your car. To naturally boost your dashboard’s glow and shine after cleaning, add a couple of drops of walnut oil or olive oil to a rag and buff the dashboard with it using circular motions.
