It's alright, i was most likely going to do it sooner or later anyways, lol :D

I'm surprised it didn't work as well myself. Turns out nail polish remover seemed to do the best in the long run, but it discolored the plastic pretty bad(worse than the mineral spirits were). it did take it off the wiper stalk with no harm, though. difference in plastics, i guess. I'll get new dash pieces sooner or later and have a regular set too.

They'll be back in the car tomorrow morning, and possibly the wink mirror as well. gotta figure out how i'm going to mount it without drilling any holes, if I can.

Suffice to say that MS is all I use on my plastics when it comes time to remove and re-treat with the UV stuff that I use. Never had an issue. With that said I am currently pondering getting a few new pieces and doing a paint or carbon fiber on them.

I wonder if the discoloration i was seeing was the uv protection being removed, and a little bit of the paint smearing. the Kleen Strip was working, but i stopped because i thought I was staining the plastic, lol.

anyhow, it's pouring rain and I'm trying to convince myself to go put these in before i have to go get my windshield re-sealed. Dang Oregon....

Ha, that looks pretty neat!

The glare on the speedo looks like it'll be killer when it's sunny out though!
