Ok while cleaning my interior I sprayed metho spirits onto the inside of the windscreen instead of onto the cloth then clean the window... anyway the metho has FARKED my dash.... It looks like I threw paint on it. I've tried water, hot water, soapy water... bloody anything I could find but it wont come off.... I think it might have eaten it or something....

Firstly does anyone know how to get it off??

If not how much is the dash piece worth and where do I get one? I hope I dont need a whole new dash!!!

I took some pics....

I don't think that is something you will get off.

It looks like it's damaged the dash material.

That isn't going to be cheap! Sorry!

What has most likely happened is that the material has been stripped of some of the softeners, and is also dried out.

Must have been a fair bit of metho :blink:

I would try to apply dash or tire gloss, something with silicone in it, apply liberally and let is soak in, maybe you are lucky and most of it will return to normal, otherwise it is a new dash for you :punchhead:

MAte I would try a product like armourall and use heaps of it.

I do not like your chances, but it is worth a shot.

To replace the dash is a huge job and not cheap. I would go and buy a dashmat and forget about it.
