Cleaning smoke-residue from cube trim

[eimkeith]

Anyone have advice on cleaning soot/smoke residue from cube trim? I'm researching before I jump in; the mild dish soap/washcloth combination wasn't incredibly effective (although it worked well for almost all other surfaces in the car)

You'll want something to get down into the grooves of the cube texture. I had great results with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol on my old silver cube. I think people may use magic erasers too, but note that they are mild abrasives so respect it like the softest sandpaper.

Just did a quick test - the rubbing alcohol/soft toothbrush is definitely going to be the way to go (once I remove the trims, of course!)

Q*bert will rise again!

Thanks!
