dinkus 10 Posted September 18, 2004 Oi, watch it. I know what your like. Seriously tho, the previous owner decided to put sticky velcro stuff on the dash and it's left a gooey mark, what's the best way to get rid without buggering the dash plastic up?

daves16v 1 Posted September 18, 2004 You might want to try nail varnish remover. I'm not saying you might be that way inclined :lol: but it does work. I've not tried it on dashboards but it does work on other surfaces. Just try a small hidden area first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted September 18, 2004 for sticky stuff use wd40 or if you've got it lighter fuel rub the wd40 in with your finger after you've sprayed it on and you'll feel the goo get softer and softer , works a treat for getting decal glue off fairings etc etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted September 18, 2004 Some sort of solvent cleaner should do it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 19, 2004 Marmite should work. *Marmite will NOT work, but I'd love to see the pictures Dinkus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted September 19, 2004 Use Glassex, Dont use nail varnish remover on soft plastic. or use pure alcohol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted September 19, 2004 Ok, on closer inspection although it looks like sticky good, it's actually been there so friggin long that it's rock hard. I managed to scrape one patch off with my finger nail, but the rest is still there. The lighter fluid does squat on it (other than get you high). Marmite smelled better, but again the cleaning wasn't too good. Forgot to take pictures of that to VR6 :roll: :lol: I then got distracted by actually driving it and managed to go nowhere in particular and come back an hour later :D:D I shall give it another go with some window cleaner after lunch though.

dinkus 10 Posted September 19, 2004 I was going to use my green Mr. Muscle window cleaner. I know it's not as pretty as blue, but it should do the job? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
