Hanging air freshener badly marked up center console
Hi All,
I have a weird problem. I have a 2001 Honda Civic DX in MINT shape. As you know, there aren't a lot of places to hang stuff, so when I bought this hanging air freshener, I hung it from one of the plastic vents in the centre instrument console. After a few days being in the sun, I notice that where the air freshener was contacting the console plastic now has this sticky residue on it. I tried scrapping it off, but it marked up the console. It then dried and now it looks awful with all my scratch marks in it. I tried using WD-40 to remove the (now dried) shiny residue, but nothing happens. Short of taking a brush and scrubbing the residue off, what options are there? Has anyone had this problem? Help!! Derek |

You might try some stuff named Goo-b-Gone (that is the approximate name). It's one of those things that was 'order before midnight' on TV for a while, but it really does work on a lots of sticky stuff. But just like anything else, try it on a spot where it doesn't matter before using it where it shows. MegaC wrote: > Hi All, > > I have a weird problem.
