Well the other night I thought I would clean all the dash panels to remove many years of dust and dirt. Not really thinking about it too much, and assuming they were all plastic, I just started to wash them in the kitchen sink with dishwashing liquid. The plastic edge panels were Ok but the textured paint radio surround has turned white! :cry:
Needless to say I didn't wash any more. I'm assuming that the paint has absorbed some water or that the chemicals in the detergent have discoloured it. If it is the first I'm hoping it will dry out in time and return to its original colour - if it is the second then I may have to paint over it to regain the colour but retain the texture.
Anyone had this happen to them - had a happy outcome?? (hopefully)
