Would Goof Off remove rubber (scent portable) that melted on my car's dash vent without discoloring or eating the dashboard plastic?

It may discolor-but if it is an inconspicuous place, it may be worth it. You can also try pure essential orange oil...and scrub hard.

Try lighter fluid (like Zippo, aka naphtha). This removes all kinds of sticky glue residue.

Haven't removed mine yet. But I read somewhere that its just suppose to peel off then Windex to remove the extra sticky. I figured if that didn't work, then I would just use goo be gone.

It melted right off when it was in the interior of my car. I wouldnt risk using it on the exterior

You would need to leave it on all night with the car sealed. Some ozone units can degrade plastics and rubber... Making then melt. I consider this more of a food and water unit. I would like for a more industrial ozone air unit in the 200 range. I love this for making food grade ozone water and ozonated oils. Jmho

I wound up throwing mine out. The plug for the lighter was not reliable. It was a separate piece that you plug the USB plug into. The USB plug worked fine. I don't believe I used any adhesive to stick to the front glass. The suction was more than enough. Push into glass, flip lever down to hold suction. I did not use on the dashboard.

Jason I would try the best I could to keep it off rubber and plastic parts. If you accidentally get some of this solvent on any rubber or plastic parts simply wipe it off.

This will not leave a stain on rubber/ plastic trim. If the rubber trim is older and dry I would recommend treating the rubber first before so removing the spray wax is easier.

It goes on with 3M tape, and I don't plan on ever taking it off. But I'm *assuming* that pulling hard enough will take it off, but rip up the tape. Goo Gone, or an equivalent, should take it off easily. I've taken emblems off cars this same way without damaging the paint, although this is a lot bigger than an emblem. I soak the emblems in Goo Gone every 20 minutes, for about 3 hours, then start to rip off the emblem. Its a pain in the ass, like most things that have to do with cars, but it works.

I have used it and left it inside my Honda Ridgeline, Honda CRV and Corvette Stingray on many hot Texas summer days. Nothing melted. I recommend this dash matt. It stays put and holds your items through almost 1G cornering (in the Stingray). Yet the mat itself is easily removed from the dash. The items you put on the matt are also easily removed from the matt. On other brand matts, removing the items from the matt often requires two hands and a little pulling. Dirt does accumulate on it, but a quick rinse in the kitchen faucet easily cleans it up. I use it for my Radar Detector and my cell phone. I have had it about 9 months.

The best way to remove these is using a "heat gun". If you don't have one goto Lowe's or a local hardware store and buy one with two heat settings 750W and 1500W. First start by heating the side vents on the 750W heat setting (holding the heat about 2 inches from the vents) for about 3 to 5 minutes. If the low heating does work move to the higher heat setting and use less time. At this point you should be able to peel the vents off by hand. Once off use acetone(finger polish remover) to clean the remaining "glue" from the car. This should work. Any other question just ask. The best way to remove these is using a "heat gun".

It might remove super glue. It's stronger than Goo Gone but not as damaging as Goof Off.

This happened to me too- it actually melted to the windshield and when I finally got it off there was a black rubber circle on the windshield. Now the suction doesn't work anymore. Be careful leaving it in the sun for long periods of time.

Try cleaning off with Goo Gone and then alcohol and then apply pieces of double stick automotive tape.

Use lighter fluid i used that it won't hurt the finish. I use the same thing to get tar off my car it works fine.

I would just pull it off. You will probably have some of the adhesive left on the oven, if so I would just use some Goof Off to remove it.
