Got WD40 on the dash, how can I remove it?

I was spraying WD40 all along the seams of passenger airbag cover because it's been rattling so much. Anyways, I accidentally got WD40 on the dash as well and now I've got spots that are really shiny. I've tried using a towel with soap and water and just can't get the junk off. Anyone know how I can get it off?

I used Zaino cleaner/conditioner on my dash and it cleaned it up nicely. Might just take a good cleaner like that and some elbow grease to blend it out.

What kind of soap were you using? You have to use a detergent like dishwashing liquid or something. Lestoil may work if all else fails.

If you got it on the black-face of the dash (like around the gauge cluster) be careful, it is painted plastic! A black paint with some gold speckles. If you use too harsh a cleaner you will get a dull spot. Happened to me, but the marble gauge cluster peice covered it right up
