    Acetone on dash?

    Hi everyone,

    I have some type of substance on my new to me Shelby GT 350 dash. I can't tell if it's some type of glue or what. I don't think it's the dash itself.

    Is acetone safe on the dash? I tried wiping it down first with water obviously no luck.

    It's not all the spots in the picture, just that one longer spot in the center.


    Thanks Acetone on dash?

    Try a test spot but my guess is no , it is absolutely not safe… Acetone discolors and eats plastic.

    I thought that as well. A Google search had mixed views. I wonder if I could use goo gone?

    Maybe a good adhesive remover? I'm nervous about putting anything on it because I don't want to make it worse. But it also drives me nuts having it there.

    Sounds like you may need a dash cover.

    DO NOT use Acetone. It will discolor it pretty quickly. Ironically, it's 1/3 the mix of my pre-coating wipe-down mixes and something I can't do in my garage as Acetone is one of the main nemesis products for a Polyaspartic floor. I'm sure diluted it won't hurt, but with the volume of coatings I do, over time, it would like impact things so I roll them into the driveway to wipedown.

    Maybe I'll try a little WD-40 or goo gone.

    My vote would be steam. Would be a good tool to have around and a lot cheaper than a new dash.
