Default Help with dashboard streaks

I noticed some streaks on my dashboard above the glove compartment. It is most likely from the cleaning done by the detail shop from the dealer.
What can i use to remove these streaks and what is the consensus of opinion for the best dashboard cleaner ?

Thanks

make sure it's cool (overnight inside garage or so), and then try to use alcohol (can try to dilute it if you are afraid) and gently wipe with a cloth. it should take out most of the "stuff"

1Z einszett Cockpit Premium - real expensive, but an absolutely flat finish. Works pretty good at taking those dashboard streaks out, but may take 4-5 applications.

Over the years, I've made streaks by 1) having the smallest piece of grit on the wet microfiber towel I was cleaning it off with, 2) using a windshield sun screen, 3) wife's friend put the road atlas on the dashboard during her day trip, and 4) dealer service guy dragged some tools or plastic service binder across it.

For #4, the dealer had their body shop "buff out" the dash best they could. Would have needed to take out the windshield to get all of it out.

I am a fan of the Meguiars products

they have a nice selection of how to videos also. http://www.meguiars.com/video/

they have several cleaners and protectants depending on the dried finish you prefer, but I have found all of them good as adding consistency to the dash, mine is black so its pretty obvious if it is not.
