I dont think u can repair and have it return to its original condition,

U can only either spray paint it or have it Custom made cover with a layer of carbon fiber layer.

Mine is worst.... "melted" & stained by Ambi-Pure Car Frangrance.

Zavhan managed to work out something & restored its original condition...

FYI, a new face panel cost $500 plus from japan.

Bro,

go to Hao Design at Commonwealth Mall, behind Leng Kee Car Mart.

They can do piano black coating on any plastic surface. You can do your entire dashboard, centre console in piano black if u want to.
I did my ashtray cover there, maybe I might even do my steering wheel panel as well(the 2 small pieces). They als customise LED lights for yr ride.

Only setback is the piano coating is direct onto your plastic, so u have to leave
yr panel there for a few days.

Oh..they are back to back with groomworks and car d elegance(carzcomp),
you can polish yr car, steam clean your carpet to get rid of the vomit....and at the same time check out the recent RX8s on SGcarmart by Car Times.

Hope this helps.

Wonder if Ambi-Pur knows their stuff stains? If there isn't any disclaimer on their product packaging, maybe can hit them up for the repair costs...

bro,

the company is called Classic Auto Deco P/L
15 Commonwealth Lane, Lot 47 to 48 Commonwealth Car Mall
Tel. no. 64712925

website : www.cadeco.com.sg

the process which they laminate the coating is called cubic printing.

they will tell you that they need a week to work on it
but if the babe there finds you cute, they will call you in 3 days.

the damage should be 2 digit going to 3 digit lah, again depend on yr charm lor.

btw, i'm in no way affiliated or have any vested interest in this co.
just a happy customer.
