Well guys, I sure goofed this one up. As some of you know I am trying to sell my 87 Westy on Ebay. I have been cleaning for a week and have it in nearly immaculate conditions. Well I decided to clean the ashtray since I unfortunately have been smoking lately. I pulled it out and for some reason(!) decided to fill it with water and dish washing liquid (of course, hoping to get any smoky smell out). After letting it sit for maybe 15 minutes I return and scrubbed it down with a toothbrush and when I was drying it I found to my horror that the outer rim of the ashtray had turned color! Sort of a dim yellow now!! This really pisses me off since I was very proud of how clean my dashboard is (was). I've Armer-All-ed it and it still is a yellow color. Really sucks against my beautiful black dash ;-( Anyway, just wanted to warn ya'll and ask if anyone has any ideas of how to rectify this screw-up? Thanks. James in Houston |
