Duct tape adhesive
How would you guys go about removing this? This stuff is real hard so it has been on here a long time. Any recommended products or processes that will not melt the plastic under the adhesive?

Re: Duct tape adhesive
WD-40 always works for me. You might just want to try hot water and a toothbrush first. I'm not sure what WD-40 would do to that area of the dash. You would probably just end up with a really clean spot that doesn't match.

Goo Gone - but I would test on an inconspicuous area first

Re: Duct tape adhesive
Try hot water and a brush or coarse rag first, then try Goo Gone (its great stuff, works great for getting gum off your shoes too). I don't know about WD40, be careful.

Re: Duct tape adhesive
I would definitely try to soak it prior. You mentioned that it's hardened, so I'd take a wash cloth (or MF) and soak it with hot water (maybe even microwave it for a lil bit to get it pretty hot). Then lay the cloth on the area for 5 minutes or so. Then go at it with your cleaner. I think your definitely going to need more than just hot water, but I've never tried to clean duct tape residue off a dash before!
Good luck and let us know how it turns out and what method you ended up going with. Just in case I ever come across something like this!

Fast orange hand cleaner works pretty good too!

Re: Duct tape adhesive
3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner would be my go-to choice. Just let it soak for a minute or two before trying to scrub it off.

Thanks for all the replies. I will be doing a write up on this job with lots of pics so I'll be sure to list my process and product to remove this stuff after I get it done.

Goo Gone FTW. Definitely give that stuff a shot. I really like it.
