    the dasheild on my car was always lifting itself up with the use of the attached double adhesive tapes. so my dad used rugby to put it in place.
    i want to remove it and have it cleaned, and if i feel like it, i want to remove it completely.

    however, the rugby stains are already all over the dashboard. is there a way to remove them without damaging the dash? solvents that can melt the rugby might discolor the dash to some extent so i'm getting opinions. hopefully, a DIY solution would do it, otherwise, i'd have to go detail.

    thanks!

    Try to remove it with kerosene or WD-40. Good Luck.

    Yup, WD-40 is worth trying.

    Huwag yung kerosene. It might harm the plastics.

    try to warm it up....trapo soaked in boiling water...then placed over the rugby for at least 3 mins or more might loosen the rugby sticky properties and then pede mo ng libagin.

    as always, try mo muna on a discreet part, maliit lang, see what happens. sa exterior pag rugby, gas always works, basta light rubbing lang. good luck!

    i know it is a bit late for a reply on this thread, here goes
    i usually use diesel to remove rugby and the likes mga double adhesives. I tried removing excess rugby stains on painted metal surface and ok naman walang discoloration sa paint, I tried it also sa leather seat ok din wala naman nasira.
