Goo Gone
Took off everything I ever threw at it. Even my fingerprints for a few days while I had to use it at work for 8hrs a day...

Are you serious? What the hell is in that airfreshner? Maybe try calling the company whose product it is and ask them how to get it off...sorry that the goo gone screwed your console up. 02.gif

If you paint it its probably not going to match the rest of it :S You really mustve spilled some wierd shizzle in your car.

Try and get another center from a junkyard? Should be cheap.
