hi Jem. ive had my civic type r for a few months and the previous owner was a smoker.
all over the dash and centre console is loads of small dark spots of smoke tar. and the silver centre piece just looks horrible..
do you have any tips to remove this and bring my dash back to new. its finally bugged me so much im going to do something about it..
cheers
Nick
also whilst im thinking about it.
the tops on my door cards have some lighter (white) patches appearing. are these fixable with a product or will i have to live with it..
cheers
If you mix some Meguires All Purpose Cleaner 50:50 with water, and put it into a spray bottle, then spray onto the dashboard working in a six inch square area at a time with a soft nail brush that should shift it. Then wipe with a cloth damp with clean water. Cars that have been smoked in can be a pain as it gets into every surface.
Sounds an odd one, do you have any pictures?Quote:

its bloody hard work
I lost enthusiam after about 3 hours
its bloody hard work
oh and its bloody hard work
honestly jem i commend you on how much work you must do to get cars looking as good as you do. Even cleaning a few stains off the door cards took a couple hours for me, and i must admit, scrubbing at the same patches for hours is damm boring.
soon as we have the touch up at the bodyshop i need to get you down to save my mrs asking me to do it lol
