Dash, Factory Aircon & Centre Console Cleaning

Hi,

The interior of my project needs some serious work. Does anybody have ideas how to make the dash, aircon & centre console look new again. The blacks look dirty and grey, the chrome look has no shine or life in them. I would like to keep the originals especialy the aircon without replacing them. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Guess there are no short cuts for the restoration on these parts. I will get replacements, shame though as i wanted to keep the originals. Sorry if it sounded a stupid question, im new to this restoration game.
Thanks for looking anyway.

To start with, I'd try just plain old soap and water and see where that gets ya. Painted metal dash components can be removed, cleaned, and repainted, though obviously that's a little more involved.

Classic Air can redo your AC so that it looks new again. You can repaint your center console, and install new trim so that it looks new. You can sand down and respray your dash with the same interior paint as the center console.
Here's some pics of mine.

It can as long as you are willing to paint and replace your trim. It makes your interior look brand new!
