I spent the weekend cleaning mine again, but a good cleaning this time
.... Spent all afternoon one day washing the outside, including pressure washing the underside and taking a layer of grime off the bottom side of my hood and the engine bay, hittin my rollbar and all chrome with SOS pads and then some crazy chrome polish my dad gets for his trucks, and applying several coats of protectant to all the trim pieces, the bumper covers, mirrors, tailgate trim, body moulding, all of it. On a related note, what's the best way to bring the trim back to a nice black shine? Front bumper cover particularly, it's normally a sun faded gray but it looks badass after I laid the protectant to it, about 5 times lol... I have some Simoniz stuff atm, and Black Magic stuff too somewhere here. I seldom ever use Armor All for the last 10 years...
then I spent all afternoon the next day doing the inside. Gave er an extensive vacuuming and cleaning before applying more layers of protectant to the dash and all interior trim, even my seat mounts lol... I ended up using my bare hand to get a good coat of it on the dash, it kept dryin up or something.... Oh well she shines good in there for now anyways...
Oh, I also started some wetsanding on my scoops, they are covered in baked-on mud and water spots and they look and feel like sandpaper haha... I should have done this after I had painted them but I was scurred I would mess up the paint haha... I'm using 2000 grit and lots of water, it's quite a bit of work but they'll look better in the end. I can kinda almost see reflections in the pass side one now, they haven't shined since I put em on there. After sanding I'll try to spray some more clear on them
I'll get some pics up soon

I have a grey interior and dash, you may have a different color. When I coat the dash with good old shiny stuff I get a terrible reflection in the windshield. Sometimes to the point where it's impossible to see the road. Maybe a dash cover is in order...
