[QUOTE="plutoII, post: 704798, member: 14411"] With the windscreen removed, the dashboard's upper section and defroster vents could be properly detailed. This is necessary as this dear E28 has been neglected for more than 10years. Once the windscreen is re-installed with new rubber lining and trim pieces, it'll be very difficult to do a great job. After spending 3months at the spray shop, and having been stored for more than a decade, the tired-looking [U]very ol[/U]d dashboard was soaked with Einszett Cockpit Premium for 15mins and shot with dry steam, while gently scrubbed with an assortment of brushes (Beforehand, we checked to ensure the dashboard has never been repaired or resprayed before) [IMG]http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy120/JKLow123/BMW%20Alpina%205%20series%20E28%20restoration/IMG_9672_zpsdd4ca831.jpg[/IMG] After proper cleaning, the dashboard had that nice, original matt look (albeit patchy in some places, probably due to aging) before any matt-effect dressing was applied - pic below.
