it shouldn't hurt the plastic. just don't leave it on for an extended period of time ;)

wipe in one corner quickly to see if it lifts the goo.

i hope it's goo and not the plastic getting eaten by the cleaner!

[elendil anarion]

your a genius!!!!!!! works perfectly!

at first I aplied it with a little fear... hehe... so it dissapeared but 5 seconds later it all came back!!!.... so I applied it again with a little more pressure and all smudges just went away very easy!

Thanks alot!

glad it worked out for you :) also remember, mineral spirits rubbed on "frosted" headlights will help remove some of the yellowish tint.
but you shouldn't have that problem with a car as new as yours

You can also try that headlight polish stuff made for plastic lenses. Works good if you got scratches on the plastic too.

Parts of the Yaris dash are painted, go easy or you will go through the paint and hit the whitish plastic thats under it.
