Posted September 19, 200519 yr comment_138546 You know- those knobs with the cut in letters and graphics like on the windshield washer switch, trip odomoter reset, ilumination reostat...What kind of cleaning solution works best for you? I ussume you're using a troothbrush to get into the grooves. I like to use the orange cleaner from the dollar store for everything, but havent gotten to try it yet; only used water so far.Also what wouldn't you use, or what stuff would dissolve the white paint?thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17306-cleaning-control-knobs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 19, 200519 yr comment_138550 i used a very soft bristled toothbrush. soaking the part in a mild dish detergent solution (warm not hot water) for 15 mins to help loosen the crud seemed to really help. i avoided any harsher cleaners (gojo, formula 409, fantastik, etc) so as not to loosen the bond of the inlaid paint.i also tried adding a little bleach, very little, to the solution and was quite satisfied with the results.bart Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17306-cleaning-control-knobs/#findComment-138550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 19, 200519 yr Author comment_138553 Dilute bleach sounds like a good idea. Even after using the soapy solution, mine were a little yellow. thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17306-cleaning-control-knobs/#findComment-138553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
