i think just dish soap and some scrubbing will take care of it. thats what i used and did a final cleaning with armorall. what is this about have to continue using the armorall? will it start cracking faster if i dont continually use it?

Simple Green will take everything off of my dirt bike so it should work wonders on the grime in a car.

use some warm soapy water with a mild detergent .then use 3m refresh to clean the dash pad, it will give it a nice deep luster and shine.
