So Saturday I finally installed my corvette lettering that fits into the indents of the airbag section of the dash. These are domed VetteWorks pieces that came with the 3M adhesive promoter 94 stick. The tip of the stick is bigger than the indent and try as I might some of the liquid made it more around the border of the letters than in the indent itself.

Now when I look at the final product I still see like a stain around the area. Cleanup online states to use some Isopropyl Alcohol with some possible scrubbing necessary. Will this harm the dash surfaces at all? Now that it has been nearly two days will it still come off?

I also installed door sill emblems and used some nail polish remover to clean the area prior to installing. This removed some of the black shine in the area and left it sort of dull. Can this be polished back up with regular automotive armor all like products?

 

Isopropyl Alcohol should be very benign to the dash. That is why they recommended it.
If you are concerned, test it in a location that you can't see easily.

Using nail polish remover? That stuff will eat thru varnish and melt plastics. What were you thinking?

I am continually amazed/amused at what people do to their cars.

 

Well thanks for the advice and criticism. It called for denatured alcohol to clean the area. Nail polish remover seemed adequate at the time. So care to advise on a solution or want to see if I can amuse you some more trying random products?

 

Try using Witchhazel, it's not as strong. Use a small amount on a qtip and gently rub the area and see how that might work. Good luck...

 

Nail polish remover... witchhazel... what is this world coming too.....?

 

Your issue did NOT amuse me and I am not happy you are having issues.

I would never have commented if I did not think I had something to offer.

I am 65 years old and been working on and restoring cars for 50 of those years. I could write for hours on things I have screwed up. Some much more severe than what you are dealing with. With age and experience comes wisdom and caution.

 

You will begone with isopropyl alcohol - I have used it on my dash and no adverse effects.

 

Thanks I do appreciate the reply. Your comments sure came across as condemning me for my actions though.

Thanks chipscvettec5 and Vetteman Jack. Never heard of Witchhazel before...
