The dash pad material used on the 54 and 55 Manhattans is slightly porous and doesn't lend itself well to cleaning. I would limit it to a wipe down with a damp cloth. Scrubbing will result in lighter patches when it dries...been there and done that!

Miles, be careful when "wiping" on the threads.  The fibers are very fragile and can/will disappear easily with hard wiping.  Had a KF member call me in tears over his.  Once it's done...it's done!!!
