Vinyl Dashboards http://www.ehow.com/info_12140965_natur ... oards.html

For vinyl dashboards, any gentle all-purpose cleaner will do. However, some all-purpose cleaners contain harsh ingredients, such as ammonia, that pull the plasticizers out of the vinyl and cause fading or cracks. Instead, make an all-natural, eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner for such dashboards. Combine 1/2 teaspoon of washing soda, 3 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil-based soap, such as Castile soap. Spray the natural cleaner onto the dashboard and wipe it away with a soft cloth.


Washing soda?
soap with oil in :?
Vinegar?


Edit: oh its american that explains everything,

Soap based on olive oil? Wonder where I'd get that here (don't get me started on the price of olive oil here - aka liquid gold :evil: ffs the stuff grows here). I guess I'll have to stop using the surface cleaner on the Pug (the Toyota just gets a blow out with the air line when I can be bothered)

If corn oil is made with corn and peanut oil is made with peanuts, then what is baby oil made with?
:lol: :lol:

Like tinned food, stuff with beef in it has a picture of a cow on the tin, stuff with pork has a pig, so what's in the tin with a baby on it? :?

My wife pays about 9 quid a litre direct from the producers, mainly because it's not been watered down yet. Stuff in the shops starts about 5 quid a litre for the cheapest possible crap up to something preposterous because it's got truffles in it. Allegedly.
