Finally removed all the wood off my dash but glue residue is left.......
.......I used goo gone and that didn't take the glue residue off my dash. Maybe its too cold for the goo gone to work. Is there any other stuff I could use to remove the glue. Has any one used something that removed the glue off their dash.

should work! I can't think of anything better than goo gone that isn't abrasive.

Yup...I was being careful using goo gone. I tried it on the door handle trim to see if the grey would rub off but it didn't seem to effect it. If it did...I will be ok because I am getting a molded kit and it would cover everything up.
dont use acetone...at least i wouldnt.we use acetone on some things at work and that stuff eats plastic. i too have been removing the wood grain and dealing with getting rid of all the glue left behind. basically just get the glue warmed up. i drove home from work and my car was nice and toasty on the inside and the glue came off easily. use a plastic scraper. it wont harm your trim. if its cold that stuff is a pita to remove. good luck. mines finally all gone.

Yeah I'm using a credit card to scrap off the residue. Did you use goo gone? If not what did you use.

Since the weather got a little warmer out.....I was able to use goo gone and take all the glue residue off. Took some work though.
Now can't wait for the molded dash kit to come in.

another thing people can use is mineral oil. My brother in law has a decal business. He has to take off the old junky ones before applying his and sometimes the old ones leave the gunky residue. He says the mineral oil somehow dissolves it and makes it so it isnt sticky. it just ***** up and you can take it off. Also wont eat or kill the area your trying to fix.
