Leather top Dash cleaning

[Kidicarus112]

I’ve been looking for the best way to clean and protect the top of the leather dash. Dust with a soft bristle brush then use sponge with colourlock cleaner and protectant is what I was thinking. If anyone has some tips I would appreciate it. 2025 G80 w/extended leather.

That works. A windshield sun shade will also help keep it from drying/shrinking/cracking. I like the Covercraft ones sold by the dealer:

The direct SUN is definitely the enemy of Leather!
I suggest and have my windshield tinted with 80% film. But it blocks whatever high 90s% of harmful UV.
I do use a lightweight leather cleaner from time to time. I don't suggest straight up leather conditioner because as it evaporates, it will coat the inside of your windshield.

I use a Swiffer duster then the BMW leather care kit.

I usually tint the windshield for uv protection. Never had an issue. Going Monday to get all my windows tinted in next car. 35% all round and 50% windshield

I have ceramic tints all the way around as of now. Will be getting the windshield done in a few weeks.
