I know we've had a discussion on this before. Of course you could always check Jasen's and Bro's websites, I know it's on there. |

Wipe with wax/grease remover on a good shop towel.

Yes, just as you described. And to be clear, you want to use a wax or grease remover like Jasen said. Some stuff will take paint off too so do a test with the dash paint you used to be sure the remover won't remove your silver paint. |
