    Ck online for car detailing ways to remove smoke residue. I wonder how vinegar would do?

    Simple green the hell out of the dash and then use this product from home depot. Its an amazing product and its been 3 years since i used it on the destroyed dash i had in my pete. I had other fellow 379 users use it as well with jaw dropping results. Main thing is to clean the hell out of the dash to remove the stains first. Dont be alarmed. it will look like you are ruining the dash even more when scouring it

    Thanks for the reply.

    I've tried vinegar, Clorox, and degreaser. None seem to work . It only makes it look chalky, my guess is because its dries it out.

    I'll check into the stuff you suggested and give it a try

    I've only had this truck going on a year, not sure if they ever used armor all or not. It didnt have any on it when I picked it up.


    I wish I had the black dash though, it wouldn't be showing the yellowing that mine is. mine was gray
