My sons gf was just given an 01 Camry and decided to try her hand at interior mods. She glued a fiber optic string light to the dash using the glue that`s used to bond artificial nails. Yup, glued it right across the dash and before she gets disowned I plan to see what I can do. I thought I`d post here for suggestions before I leave work and head home to deal with it.



Can anyone suggest what might help remove it cleanly? It`s been on there for one day and I don`t know yet if it has set up completley or not. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you

Fake nail glue is actually just Super Glue (atleast my daughter`s is). Acetone removes it, but probably wouldn`t be good for the dash. You could try a small test spot in an inconspicuous area. Other solvents may work on it, too (Goo Gone, 3M Adhesive and Wax Remover, etc...).

Goo Gone is a really good product I would try that out before anything and if you don`t get anywhere with that then try breaking it up with Nail Polish Remover or a rubbing compound.

Goo Gone didn`t phase it and I stopped just short of acetone for fear of what that might do to the vinyl. By the time I saw the car the cement had already set up and now I`m thinking that anything that will cut that down and remove it will most likely not be clean in the end.



I`ll see, I`m not through with it yet. She sure did make a mess out of her dash. Thanks for the response(s).
