Glue stains on carbon
I have few glue stains on carbon part of dashbord. Any idea how to get rid of them ?
Acetone didnt help
I was also thinking about carbon foils, but they wont stick on carbon :bang:
what car/ what part..??
is the carbon sealed..? the carbon I deal with isn't "porous?" so nothing penetrates it..,
try "nail polish remover".. or Industrial Alcohol they are quite different to Acetone
Fiat Bravo
Here's the picture
that's pretty bad..
I'm guessing whatever has marked it has damaged the top coat
Carbon is not damaged, but i cant get the glue off. I am thinking about foils,but nothing (except superglue
looks like a map of Italy..
just stick one on the damaged areathat's pretty bad..

Ok spoke to a composites expert.
that doesnt look like solid carbon..just a veneer.
Either way .. to remove the superglue
Use a BLUNT/ DULL coarse file. And carefully rub the glue away. Then polish the surface back with a polish. T-Cut. Or other particle loaded polish.
That is the method used in LEARJET..etc.
ILL post more spec on the files when Im at a PC

not TOO SHARP,
so it'll not cut down TOO quickly and risk marking your "carbon face"
once essentially smooth - then polish the area so it's a similar reflective finish to the rest of the dash.
