Default Flocked dashboards

Right, I'm thinking of having my dash flocked in my personal Daily runner. I've seen customers car that come in the garage and they look quite good.
The question I'm asking is....

How hard are they to keep clean / take care of on a daily basis?

Any comments welcome

I had one in my Intergra Type R, it's get dusty quite quickly as dust is kind of attracted to it, but to clean it's quite easy a quick clean I just use Microfibre cloth that's almost dry just a bit of wetness to make it glide over and not pull against it, I kept a Lint clothes roller in my car aswell.
But for a good proper clean a Hoover with brush attachment (I'd recommend a new attachment just for the car)
Good things about flocking is no glare and it's water proof so don't need to worry it getting wet.

Also parcel tape wrapped round your hand is good for picking up fine dust/hairs

Dont do the steering wheel as it will go shiney very quickly but clean as the otheres have suggested.

Same as sude wheels, if you dont wear gloves when you drive they go shiney too

Just been quoted to get mine done , gone for the whole lot , dash,glovebox,steering cowling,a/b/c pillars, and center consul

I love the look of it and for the cost it's a great mod to do to get a new look inside the car

Sounds like I thought. As I said I've seen many in customers cars and they appear very dusty/bitty as I'm a clean freak, I don't think it's best option in a car I use every day. Thanks for the replies guys. ��

I have to say if it was a daily driver I don't think I'd go for it either , as mine is only used occasionally I think / hope it will keep spotless between uses other than minor dust ,
