Repainting a dashboardWell… the way to make it clean is to clean it… ! It sounds obvious, but without a doubt the best way to handle most dashboards it to clean them with a damp cloth which has been dipped in warm soapy water. That is pretty much all you need to do.

There is just one thing I have to say is that your cloth should be damp, not wet! Behind your dashboard are loads of electronic gizmos, everything from airbag units to the processor which controls your whole car - It only takes one drop of water in the wrong place and you could be looking at a bill for many thousands of pounds to put things right. We don’t advise that you use any product on your dashboard, but if you should ignore my advice, then fine… just don’t spay any product directly onto the dashboard. Instead spray it onto a cloth and put the cloth on the dash. more »
