How to safely clean center console
#1
![Default](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My 718 had some sort of felt pad glued to the seat buckle, presumably to stop rattling. The driver's side felt came off and really sticky adhesive is smeared on the side of the center console. Normal interior cleaner doesn't budge it.
I figure I need some sort of solvent, but am concerned with damaging the vinyl material. Has anyone any suggestions? Has anyone successfully used isopropyl alcohol on this material without damage?
All pointers gratefully received.

Should be fine, since that's how we remove our air bag stickers off a similar surface.
Use denatured alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is pretty weak by comparison, 91% vs 100%. Home Depot. Paint aisle.
Do a small test spot in a hidden area first.

I use ISO 90 instead of 100, as its working time is slightly longer, but both won’t harm the console.
Avoid your seats and such, as this will dry it out.
I suggest applying the alcohol directly to a rag and then wiping. Take you two minutes.
