Basically New Car. Only 5000 miles. This was caused by a Garmin GPS mount with a rubbery bottom. This one - Garmin Portable Auto Friction Mount for Select Garmin GPS 010-11280-00 - Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/portable-auto-friction-mount-for-select-garmin-gps/9267642.p;jsessionid=84653E36A65F0F63612A6A200D607 8F4.bbolsp-app03-201?id=1218071905926&skuId=9267642&st=garmin) gps mount&cp=1&lp=2

I have only tried surf city garage dash away for 2 reasons. All I have and did not want to use anything that may mess up dash.

Any suggestions on what to take it off with that will not mess up dash?

I need to buy some stuff from AG so hopefully something I can add to my order will take care of it. What about the 1z kit?

On a side note, any good Autodesk coupons right now? At least free shipping maybe?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

1z deep plastic cleaner or APC should work.

Any all purpose cleaner should work. I'm surprised it actually stained because the Passat dash is almost like rubber.

Nice photos. Do you think the Surf City Dash Away could finish the job if you kept at it or is the 1Z product just that much better?

Maybe so but it would have taken some hard scrubbing. The 1Z is that much stronger cleaner. Dash away is fine for me for just normal cleaning . The 1Z truly seems to be a deep cleaner.

1z deep plastic cleaner is a great product! Its a must have in my shop and I have found nothing that works as good.
