Tan Interior Goo Gone
So i picked up my new FD yesterday and the tan interior was horrible so i applied goo gone to it all scrubbed w/nylon brush then wiped off while it was wet, it got all the grease and scuff marks etc out but now its forming a white film on all my tan vinyl, it looks like my interior frosted over. Is there anyway to get rid of this or am i stuck with christmas in my car until i get some interior pieces.

the film is powdery in appearence, and starts to come off w/ scrubbing. If i apply water it dissapears and then reappears when it dries,im going to go and buy a vinyl conditioner (armor all) and try that with a bit of luck it will solve it

I know what you mean. I tried a little bit of Goo Gone to remove some adhesive left over from removing a turbo timer. What it seems to do is dry out the plastic. I wiped down the offending area w/ Meguiars' Gold Class Vinyl/Plastic protectant and it brought the color back.

You can clean the plastic with laquer thinner but you have to be careful as to much tends
to melt the plastic. I did my tan interior and it came out great. I have been using lacquer
thinner for years to clean up plastic.

Please don't EVER use Armor All or anything of that brand on our 7's. That's cheap and destructive to our interiors. Use that on a Civic or something Go with 3M Interior Leather/Vinyl Restorer. Best stuff on the market...

Never use alcohol or solvent based cleaners on our sevens unless you want to strip the interior paint. Goo Gone has kerosene and other petrole base chemicals in it...(I have never tried the water based stuff) The white film is solvent soaking into the plastic essentially bleaching it out. The coating on the plastic protects it from ultraviolet. Solvent and alcohol based cleaners strip the coating and cause the plastic to bleach out. The interior paint on our cars is so old at this point, it is very easy to strip off.
I design the systems that spray the interiors of cars. I know these products.

so if i was to use goo gone on a part of the center console the previous owner painted .....it would strip the ugly paint off? im not worried about it damaging the finish under that because if i cant get the paint off ill have to buy new panels anyway. So a fee mr. clean magic erasers, a 303 vinyl reconditioning product and nothing alcohol based i think that pretty much sums up what i need to go and buy?
