I have some tiny crystal balls like stuff on my air/radio display screen and need to remove them (Mine is base without Nav. This is where the navigation screen goes with Nav models)

It was there when I picked up the car from dealer and I guess this is some kind of hardened glue or something. I tried 303 but did not work.

I am thinking to try WD40 or Goo Gone but reluctant to do it because I don't want to ruin the plastic screen.

Are these safe on this plastic display cover? Or can Anyone suggest on how to remove these?

thanks

 

take a photo of it, goo-gone and other stuff may end up bleaching the surface...

 

Got this straight from WD40's website. Hope it helps!

What surfaces or materials are OK to use WD-40 on?

WD-40 can be used on just about everything. It is safe for metal, rubber, wood and plastic. WD-40 can be applied to painted metal surfaces without harming the paint. Polycarbonate and clear polystyrene plastic are among the few surfaces on which to avoid using a petroleum-based product like WD-40.

 

So, is that display screen is made of "Polycarbonate and clear polystyrene plastic"???

 

I will try but it's so tiny tiny in size I am not sure if I can take a good picture.

 

Keep a microfiber cloth in the car, it takes the stuff right out.

 

How exactly? I used 303 and microfiber cloth but that did not work. So I've been thinking to use some other cleaner.
How do I use microfiber cloth to remove this stuff?

 

You need to identify what the spots are before you start using chemicals.....

 

Maybe this is a dumb question. How do I find what the spots are? I did not put it there and it was there from the dealer. Is there any way I can find it out?

 

i wouldnt use wd on your nav screen...it might fog(haze) it...

 

I would opt for a very warm water moistened MF first.....Gently wipe. May take two applications, first application will soften it up for sure.

 

Thanks. I will try that.
