Re: What type of metal is in the dash? Pic attached!

I believe your knobs are chromed pot metal, the flat part (looks almost white in your photo) is either plastic or Aluminum.  The knobs can be cleaned with dollar store spray can window cleaner and some 000 steel wool, and a toothbrush for the grooves.  Be gentle with it, they are old.  If that flat part is either aluminum or plastic very gently clean it with a soft tooth brush and the same spray can of dollar store window cleaner.  Don't go nuts with it, if it's plastic you'll take the coating off it, if it's aluminum you can damage the finish that is on it.  No green scrubbies that you use in the kitchen, bad on trim and other bit, It will scratch them into junk in no time flat.

if it's like the 64 B Body dashes,it's a one piece unit. Stamped steel would be my guess. Had mine out and painted body color.

What kind of metal is located inside the trim pieces around the speedometer needle....push buttons and gauges... and radio/ignition/pull knobs..... is it pot metal? its not chrome is it? it's not shiny.  How do I clean/fix it up nice and new looking?

Thanks!
