I'd try an APC - diluted to the proper ratio for interior cleaning - and a microfiber cloth. 303 makes a good APC. Also Chemical Guys, Meguiar's, Detailer's Pride, Finish Kare....lot's to choose from. After the APC use a nice protectant. Again, 303 makes a good one. Also Optimum and Finish Kare protectants have worked well for me.

APC = All Purpose Cleaner.
I'd soak the adhesive with Goo-Gone http://www.magicamerican.com/googone.aspx
It's safe on most vinyl and plastic.
I hope you have good luck getting the blue carbon overlays and s2000 dash emblem off as well.

Acetone will take it off.
You should test in an area before making the final effort.
Also the adhesive in the tape will probably leave a stain that can't be removed. If this happens, you'll most likely have to experiment with a few products to refinish the whole dash. GL

See if you can get this moved to the Wash And Wax forum. Alot more people might be able to help you out over there. Good luck in getting in removed....cleanly.
