Removal of Rain Visor and Chrome Door Handle and bowl Cover

In case no one knows, here's what most instruction labels advise: "test the solution on an inconspicuous area first".

I've had this spray can for the better part of 10 years. There's still about 1/3 left of the stuff. Very effective in removing residual adhesives.

Pwede po ba goo gone sa dashboard - sticky residue din na natuyo. Hindi ba mag discoloration - mamuti after?

Thanks!

Goo gone is not petroleum-based like most lubricants or other degreasers (e.g. WD40). If the area of the dash to be cleaned is plastic or faux wood/carbon fiber, then it should be fine.

Leather is a different story, tho.

Goo-Gone is petroleum based, specifically isoparaffin (aka kerosene). The ingredients are listed in goo-gone's own product literature and the CPID.

Goo-gone is basically a scented and colored kerosene + alcohol mix. The old driver's wisdom of 'babad sa gaas' wasn't wrong.

The Permatex one that I use smells lemony.... almost silicone spray consistency. Also petroleum based but have not damaged any kind of surfaces I've used it on.

I really can't remember exactly. I have a hunch baka sa Blade or any of the popular hardware shops. It was a very long time ago.

I found a listing on Shopee. Medyo expensive but it's worth it. Yung sa akin, 2015 or whereabouts ko pa yata nabili. Hinihiram nalang sa bahay ng extended family ko for their cars and MCs. Even then, siguro mga 30% pa laman nung can.

I stand corrected as I didn't know isoparaffins were petroleum-based.

Isoparaffins are quite prevalent in skincare products and is also biodegradeable. Equating it with kerosene is a bit of a stretch.

In any case, Goo Gone has been working well for my gooey adhesive removal needs and hasn't been at all harmful to the stuff I used it on.

Kerosene is also biodegradable in soil or water, that's not something special to isoparaffin
c13-14 isoparaffin is just "cleaned up" kerosene meaning it's had the sulfur and nitrogen removed. Euro-6 kerosene if one might prefer.



Admittedly I wasn't thinking of cosmetic use and one wouldn't put kerosene on their face, but the aromatics removed from kerosene in the process of creating isopar aren't necessarily bad for a plastic or wooden surface being cleaned.

i read somewhere, that if the paint is original factory, there should be no problem when removing these adhesive-installed accessories.
but yes, pre-heating the adhesive seems logical.
