Weldwood contact cement and soapy water is all I use.

I have a suggestion of what you may not want to do.  That of course is
valuable in its own right.  I covered the top of the car dash area with
contact cement.  Then I covered the bottom of the new dash top and the
forward edge with contact cement.  After it dried, I laid multiple strips
of wax paper over the top, put down the pad, and pulled one sheet out at a
time.  It would rip or bind up around the top of the edge.

On hindsight, if I did it again, I would probably not put any contact
cement on the forward edge of the metal or pad.  I would lay the wax paper
up to the top edge, and forward over the bonnet.  I would then put the dash
top on, push it hard forward and down, then pull the wax paper forward.

Does that make sense?

If there is a thicker wax paper than the common kitchen stuff, I'd get that
too.

I did it alone.  This really would work that much better if I had an extra
set of hands to keep the dashtop in the right place.

Best,
Jay
