Re: Dashboard cleaning,
Go to tesco and buy a bottle of tesco's cheap all purpose cleaner (In the house cleaning isle, think it's called Daisy) Buy a cheap spray bottle and also get some cheap microfibre cloths and a nailbrush.
Dilute the APC 10:1 to 5:1.
Spray abit of the dash, scrub it with the nail brush and wipe it off with the microfibre.

Re: Dashboard cleaning,
Sugar soap. Make up a solution in a bowl and use a sponge, squeezed out, and scrub it. Once dash and wheel is dry then it's time to get the wet wipes out.
1999 406 HDi 2.0 110 GTX Estate. 48k when bought, now 150K. Second owner, I've covered over 100k in it.
Clutch changed @110k, bottom pulley changed, cam belt changed, EGR blanked, cat removed, front springs changed.

Re: Dashboard cleaning,
Is it on all of the interior or just the steering wheel, the clio had a leather effect steering wheel which had a sticky sort of feeling to it, i used jif cream and scrubbed it but it still felt sticky, talcum powder worked for a while but still no luck, so i just put a steering wheel cover over it. I think renault use a strange type of leather that feels sticky in the hand.

Re: Dashboard cleaning,
The rest of the dash is it sticky? does it have a suede or leather trim on it?
