Recommendations for cleaning the dash

[Viper 92]

I just purchased a 92' this week. The only apparent flaw in the car is that the dash seems very tacky and shows a fair amount of scratches....Is this common? Does anyone have a recommendation to clean and/or protect it?

Gen 1 vipers dashes are very easily scratched, alot of people end up preping their dash (ie, very light sanding) and then repainting it with a flat black finish. Do a search on the forum, I'm sure you will find something

Or you can buy a new one. Think the last one I bought was under $300. It's worth it if your dash is really banged up and you still want an original look.

I just got through refinishing the dash in my 95. I stripped it with EZ Off oven cleaner, sanded it, primed and painted it with flat black Krylon paint. It looks great.

Striped and repainted is what I did. Looked great!!

LIGHT glass cleaner (get the clear one that Windex makes) and a cotton T-shirt will remove grime and spots. I've also had a lot of success washing the dash with mild soap and water, and using a dishwashing sponge to light lift dirt out. But for scratches you'd have to re-paint or replace, call John B. he got me door pieces.
