I have put 303 on my dash, cleaned it a little here and there and all that stuff. It has gotten quite cold and I want to really really clean my dash and start a whole new appliation of 303 on my dash from scratch.
What is the strongest/best cleaner to use on the dash to do this? Ef-Hi? Sounds like it's too strong or something but all I ever hear of is stuff to protect your dash, make your dash shine etc... I wanna clean the sucker.

I imagine a warm damp sponge with dawn to give it a once over, then follow up with another sponge with clean water and lots of towels to soak up the water. Then 303
Ef Hi diluted like 20% hi, 80% water, or a very small amount of Ef hi with a sponge. then a damp sponge with water. Wipe dash with water sponge, then ef sponge, repeat a few times till clean. then use a dedicated damp sponge to clean off the Ef HI residue, then dress.
the sponge can be replaced with a terry towel or mf towel though........

other than that, it should be safe.
