Dilute some all purpose cleaner 10:1 scrub with a nail brush, wipe dry with a microfibre cloth. You can then add a dressing if you so wish, my personal favourite is poorboys natural look dressing, I apply it with a polish applicator leave to dry for a minuite and then buff with a microfibre cloth, apart from the crack it made my E30 dash look like new.
