How to Clean a Yellowed Motorcycle Dashboard?
2 Answers
Use a soft cloth with a special cleaning and care agent for dashboards and plastic parts to wipe. If you don't have a special cleaning and care agent, you can use toothpaste as an alternative for wiping. For replaceable parts, various repair shops have the necessary accessories.
Last time, after riding my motorcycle for many years, I encountered a yellowing dashboard issue, mainly due to sun exposure and dust accumulation, making it look old. I tried gently wiping it with warm water and a few drops of dish soap using a soft cloth, which worked okay; for stubborn areas, I applied a small amount of toothpaste with a toothbrush, lightly scrubbed for a few minutes, then rinsed, and it became much brighter. I must remind you not to use alcohol or strong solvents, as they can damage the plastic surface. Additionally, parking in a shaded area or using a dashboard dust cover for prevention helps. After regular maintenance like this, the yellowing has reduced significantly. Remember to wipe gently and avoid getting the circuits wet to prevent short circuits—safety first. The entire cleaning process takes about 15 minutes, is simple, cost-effective, and durable.
