Ok so in short one of my car's PO's is a DAPO and used liquid nails to secure the sun cover to the dash top. The past few weeks I've been trying to figure out how to remove the damn stuff and there really is no easy way to do it.. Here's what it looked like before I cleaned it:

Here's what it looked like after a few hours of chemical remover trial and error that finally led to me using a putty knife to scrape it off :

Nice work! How much per hour?

Eventually when you're out of school & making the big bux, you'll want to send that dash top pad to AutoAtlanta or CAMP914 for a recovering with a good factory match vinyl to get rid of those cracks.

Nice job on the temporary clean-up & shine though!

Haha there's no way I'd have the patience to do another one This one alone had me swearing at the DAPO (who wasn't even there)



Thanks! I might actually buy a cracked dash top to practice repairing cracks while I'm back in school. If it comes out good enough I'll sell that one and use the technique in the teener I'll buy later on (if it needs it).

The things that some people do.

Nice save!

Dam should have just got it reupholstered.

I would have just thrown a dash topper on it & called it good.

Nice job.

And I have...

Haha yeah I would have taken that route but I have VERY limited funds. I did this cleanup for the expensive price of $0!! haha



Haha yeah it did have a topper on it but I couldn't stand knowing how it looked underneath.I knew I could save that top (even if it took a little work ) so I decided against getting another one. Too bad I'm selling my car or I would completely restore the pad on my own.
