    Clean up red melted lollipop/jolly rancher?

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I did not have steam, gum freeze, or compressed air but I did have cloth and damp water and it worked! The pocket put enough pressure on cloth to melt away the candy. I left it about 30 minutes. Took a lot of upholstery cleaner to get the red out of the gray...

    Clean up red melted lollipop/jolly rancher?

    Good news is it is in a pocket so I am not worried about red stains just a way to get it off? Goo Gone? WD40?

    What is on this VW Clock and more and how to clean it?

    Merry Christmas! I found an extremely old bottle of Mother's Plastic Polish after a lot of shaking I put it to the test. No luck at all on actual vent but I think I got pretty good results on clock and temp display. I had to polish pretty hard but I think I can live with it now. I realize the...

    What is on this VW Clock and more and how to clean it?

    I appreciate all the tips. I have not tried any type of polish or plastic cleaner yet. The Vent and clock are all part of one farm of two vents and the clock. I could not tell if it was pits or on the surface for sure but I am leaning towards on the surface. I guess at this point I will try some...

    What is on this VW Clock and more and how to clean it?

    Thanks. It seems I could scrape off a little paint overspray? I tried in a corner but no luck.

    What is on this VW Clock and more and how to clean it?

    Bought a 2016 VW Passat used with 13k miles. Thought I could get this stuff off but no luck with normal cleaning products. It is also on thermostat display and vent. I have not tried any type of plastic cleaners yet in fear of scratching. I can feel the specs on the surface. I realize pictures...

    Lunch date with a coin-op and Ultima WW+

    So, I decided today at lunch I would try UWW+ for the 1st time. I originally was going to do just a waterless wash because I just cleaned the car really well last week, (hand job thread) but I was driving through a target parking lot yesterday and got sprayed by a group of blackbirds. It looked...

    All in One Hand Job!!!.....on a Black VW Passat. Working around having a 1 year old Son.

    Thanks a lot. I will look at AG's pricing before purchasing a DA. Yes. The hand work was pretty crazy. Once over with the meguiars and then again for the opti-seal. Not counting all of the microfiber buffing and washing. My Neighbors do think I am crazy. One saw me washing the wheels in the...
