Do you spray down the entire inside like it’s raining then wipe dry or do you just wipe down?

Do you spray cushions w water while in or do you remove?

How do you clean dashboard?

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I’ve seen people spray everything down even the dash and others use a spray bottle and wipe.
Than you.
 
On my '17 AR190, I pull the carpet and then spray down with a garden hose. I keep the water on the fiberglass as much as possible and avoid the carpet as much as possible. Carpets get pressure washed once a year. Same for the cushions. No direct spray on the dash or glove box (although they've survived thunderstorms with no issue in the past).

I use micro fiber cloths and what ever cleaning spray is appropriate for the material being cleaned. I use hot sauce on the seat cushions, windex on the dash and the rest of the fiber glass areas.
 
With my Yamaha I always tried to avoid soaking the cushions especially around the cup holders if you haven’t plugged them or routed your own drains, otherwise they’ll just dump water in your carpeted storage compartments.

With my Moomba I rarely soak or get the interior wet. It is wiped down with a damp microfiber towel at the end of the day or use and then cleaned with cleaners specifically made for boat vinyls and plastics. Basically my interior gets a “dry clean” process as I try and avoid water at all costs on the interior of the boat. The Gatorstep on the other hand pretty much has to be cleaned with water and Simple Green but I only do that a few times a year when it starts to look dinghy.
 
I do the following: spray down everything with salt neutralizing solution (using a garden hose end sprayer), let it sit while I flush the engine with solution, then wash everything with wash and wax soap, hose everything off .....

Oh, I am sorry - I have a center console :winkingthumbsup"

You use hot sauce on the seat cushions? I wouldn't do that if I were you, hopefully you meant vinyl sauce
