Matie . .
This sounds serious . . .My only suggestion would be to work over it with an alternative cockpit shine . . Silicone free autoglym . . But this may hot be the solution . . .
Another idea that comes to mind, is just to use a good old fashioned degrecer . . Alchohol?
Enjoy!

Think the last car I bought which the previous owner had "valeted" like that, I ended up washing it off with soap and water on a cloth, and then when it dried applying a nice matt-finish dashboard protector...
Why on earth do people still use that stuff??!!

if you want a matt finish on the dash, use autoglym interior shampoo on a foam polishing pad, will remove the existing cack, and leave a matt finish that wont blind you in the sun !
