Title: Dash Cleaner
Post by: omega3000 on 26 January 2013, 09:17:20
In the car i recently bought it seems someone put some of those double sided sticky pads in various positions on the dash , as its a black dash no amount of cleaning will get the white residue off  :( can anyone recommend some cleaner to get this off  :y

White spirit, but colour test on a hidden area first.

White vinegar may work, but again test in hidden area for discolouration

Be careful with nail varnish remover - acetone can affect some plastic surfaces ;)
