Sticky dash
Hey all. PO had mounted a gopro cam on the dash. When he took it off, it left a very sticky mess. Suggestions on getting that off without damage to the dash? Goo gone is rumoured to be too strong? Thanks

Try WD40. It usually takes off gooey residue, and isn't too aggressive

Wd 40
I do not like this stuff, it is a water displacing product (Its where the WD comes from), Turtle Wax makes a good Adhesive remover
TURTLE WAX® RENEW RX
It works well and will not attack your dash, I would use Goo Gone before WD40...WD40 smells terrible.

This is an attack and so wrong. I've been using the WD stuff for +20 years and just found out what it is, what WD means lol
Don't do that again

Acetone, no? works on my wife...dunno
Leather coloring is what needs care I think. Try water and soap before anything else (leather products, aloes?)

I'm going to try this one first cause either A) I get a good laugh at myself or B) I learn something pretty cool.

I use baby oil to break adhesion with sticky stuff, and it will smell good afterwards if you use the scented kind 
Now don't go telling me about how baby oil is made, I don't want nightmares.
I only buy the the stuff that says "no babies were harmed in the manufacturing of this product"

Goo Gone works for me as it's citrus-based. I think Goof Off is the one to avoid as it's harsh.
