adhesive removal- dash
 
Looking for recommendations to get adhesive off of the dash, previous owner had a carpet mat on the dash and had it Velcro or glued on, dash is in good shape but has big strips of adhesive all over it. What can I safely use to get that off without ruining the dash?

I would consider Goo Gone, but looks like they recommend hard vinyl only.

It may affect the color.

Spray brake cleaner on a cloth, test in unseen area. If ok, wipe away..........

another vote for goo gone. I believe brake cleaner will damage paint.

I used that to but on a small brush or nail brush work ok but in later year may cause cracking to the dash if it soak in to the pad to much.
I all so used cup hot water and plastic razer blade in the high heat direct sun light lots of elbow grease and what energy work out.

Normal automotive vinyl cleaner.
Hot soap and water.
Rubbing Alcohol.

Have you had a chance to try out any of those products on your dash?

I’m in the same boat as you. Old glue all over the dash.
