p3te Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I’ve just removed a few gauges from my dash but its left horrible marks , I’ve tried trim/leather cleaners and nail polish remover/white spirit and while its took most off I’m still left with a hard glue and am starting to scratch my dash getting it off, any ideas? http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9004/dsc02238q.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'm wandering if you could use this: http://www.autoglym.com/enGB/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=GD&Range=1 I've used it on my paintwork and it worked brilliantly, I don't know if it's a good or bad idea with the dashboard though.

ripped_fear Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 try some pannel wipe, a cloth and allot of effort! then allot of dash cleaner should do the trick with some patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgoo Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I used this on my dash-board and it worked a treat. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_categoryId_165651_productId_250793_langId_-1?cm_mmc=Shopping-_-Google%20Product%20Search-_-Car+Cleaning+%26+Pressure+Washers/Car+Interior+Cleaners-_-De-Solv-it+Sticky+Stuff+Remover&source=shopping&istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istItemId=lwmmxp&istBid=t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I recommend eucalyptus oil... I use it on the exterior to remove tar...Its all natural so it shouldnt damage the dash. Maybe check it on an inconspicous spot... IN SA it can be bought at a pharmacy, I assume the same in the UK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
