This is from my Detailer.

The Woolite for interior cleaning seemed weird to me but it work great.

Here is the write-up on everything, included my detailing videos I have
on youtube.

For the inside plastic and coated leather I use a simple quick spray detailer.

Does anyone know how to clean the weird smudges and fingerprints on the digital instrument cluster?

I recommend using a very soft, new microfiber towel just moistened with warm water (not dripping). you don't want to use any chemicals on the IP screen.
This is what I did after having my windows tinted, and the screen was covered with dried soapy water residue.

Let me add, I don't think there is anything that can be used on the shiny black "piano trim" around the shift console area, without causing scratches. Try to avoid rubbing it if all possible. I use the canned air and just spray off the dust once in a while.

God, this. I've tried various "gentle" LCD monitor and touchscreen cleaners, and they all left the screeen looking streaked and uglier than before. A very lightly damp microfiber towel cleaned up everything and made it look factory-fresh.

For dust, use a clean/new swiffer or the equivalent. Works wonders.

Awesome, I'll try that. Thanks for the recommendation!
