Hope this question is in the right section...
Doing a body off on a 69 convertible. I have totally gutted the interior and want to really clean it up well before re-installing. What is a good cleaning agent for the dash, door panels, plastic side panels/ covers etc..
thanks

That fantastic orange stuff works REALLY well on most surfaces. Give it a shot.

The trick is more than just cleaning. You can clean with most any thing that will take off the oils that have accumulated. Many forget to apply a plastic treatment after. The treatment must have a UV shielding agent. Plastics don't last for ever. UVs hate plastics.

Hope this helps.

After cleaning, I like to use Adam's Polishes VRT.
