I have an '08 535 and noticed the dash is the slightest bit "sticky" from the factory....not like a coating or anything...just like the material is sort of sticky (if that makes any sense?). Anyway, it attracts dirt and I would like to use something more than a damp cloth to clean/treat it....any ideas? Also, I don't want a shiny dash that will reflect off the windshield.

Have used the "Einszett Cockpit for regular upkeep" and can vouch for how good it is. Simply wipe on for a clean, totally matt finish. Nice 'factory fresh' scent too.......

Thnks everyone for the helpful suggestions...I haven't seen the cockpit cleaner but have seen the 303 formula and will try it.

Good to know information 
(Or not)
The dashboard skin material is PUR. Probably produced with spray technology, patented by Recticel.
