How to Remove Glue Marks from the Dashboard?
2 Answers
Spray a dedicated automotive glass adhesive remover onto the glue you want to remove. The glue will melt immediately and can be wiped off with a cloth, making it very effortless. Apply vinegar evenly with a cotton swab on the remaining adhesive film. Wait for the vinegar to blend with the glue, then slowly remove it with a cloth or scraper. Glue can be removed with banana oil, but the effect is not very good. Essential balm can also be used. Apply the balm multiple times on the glue and slowly scrape it off with a knife, requiring patience. This method is more effective than the previous three. Apply alcohol to the glue. The glue will soften, and you can slowly scrape it off with a knife.
Having driven for over 20 years, adhesive marks on the dashboard are quite common, usually left by stickers or ornaments. Use a hairdryer to heat the adhesive mark for 1 minute to soften it, then remove most of the residue with an old toothbrush. Next, dip a cotton ball in alcohol to clean off the adhesive traces—alcohol dissolves glue and evaporates quickly without leaving water stains. If you don't have alcohol, try using essential balm; a drop rubbed in a few times will easily remove it. After wiping, use a damp cloth to remove any oily residue, then dry with a cloth to prevent moisture. Remember to test the material compatibility in a hidden area like an air vent to avoid damaging the plastic surface. Minimize sticking adhesive items daily to prevent marks. For stubborn residues, use a professional adhesive remover but avoid scraping the surface with a knife.
