Dashboard help

Hmm you might go to like Advance Auto or Auto Zone and ask them if they have anything, they would definitely be able to provide you with the correct info. My first thoughts would be to drive into town and see what they can do for you. But if you really just wanna get something online, then you might go for something like this I would assume. http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G1231...cmu_pg__header
Curious as to how you got that out, cause I wanted to see if I could change the dash colors to like a blue :P Hmmmmm

It's real simple to remove and I did take pictures/video.
Remove cover surrounding clocks with firm pull
Remove 4 crosshead screws to remove black cowl
Remove another 4 screws to clock assembly
Remove both electrical connectors at rear by firmly lifting/prying the plastic cam strap over the notch on the top of connector
All with power off and takes couple of minutes only
BTW: Mothers Plastic Polish appears to be the product with favorable reviews

CarlStev, I would first try to use a little bit of mineral spirits on a piece of paper towel. It would be preferable to have some automotive paint reducer (higher quality mineral spirits) as that will be a lot less likely to cause a problem with plastic (not that mineral spirits normally does).
After that, I would get some 1500 grit liquid polishing compound. Use that with a cotton cloth and that will clean up what you are seeing.

appreciate the suggestions folks, thanks a bunch.
I went to my local Automotive Car and Truck Parts - Find Parts in Canada - PartSource: Automotive, Truck Parts & Accessories store to see the lineup on their shelves, all other Mothers products but no "Mothers Plastic Polish" (highly recommended in other forums)
Did see this though "PlastX" clear plastic cleaner and polish, see what you think of the results;
I'm pleased as punch
First image I have polished about half of the dash on the right, second image is complete

Sorry, wasn't looking but like I said only takes a couple of minutes to take apart with one 5" long cross head screwdriver (8 screws) and one 3/16" wide flat head screwdriver (to lever the electrical connector locking cam)
