Previous owner slapped a piece of velco right in the middle of dash fro a radar detector...it's been there for years. Any suggestions??

Citrus based solvent preferred, if that doesn't work WD40 (really) followed by citrus based cleaner to remove WD40 residue.
Both of these are color/vinyl safe.

Once clean, I would suggest some Wurth Cockpit Cleaner:

Note- use caution if you use WD-40 as it contains strong hydrocarbon (aliphatic) solvents, which may effect a paint surface causing it to become clouded (opaque) or compromise non-neoprene rubber or viynl, it is also highly flammable (easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames) Don’t let it drip onto the brake pads as they will become ineffective and / or grab and squeal (MSD) –http://www.wd40.com/Brands/pdfs/msds...aerosol.us.pdf
