Looks nice, but yes indeed, a pain.
What I found that works pretty well is 3M Adhesive Remover (aerosol), plastic razor blades and a little patience in a well ventilated area.

Thanks! Plastic razor blades would of been a big help. I just used the 3M adhesive remover and a microfiber cloth. Ended up with some tender raw fingers after lol

Goo Gone and guitar picks worked quite well but it was still pretty tedious process

<chuckle> didn't have a guitar pick handy, but that would work too. Same with an old credit card or plastic hotel room key. Just be gentle.

Gave it a good wash (I can do either an hour wash as a quickie or 2 hours where I get much more anal...this was the latter).....and a fresh treatment of hydrosilex recharge.

I figure I want it tip top for when the FedEx guy brings my new steering wheel tomorrow. Bit the bullet on the alcantara\leather BMW wheel. I have a feeling I'll have the old wheel off before the truck even gets to my house (working from home to sign for it).

check this thread for another post from me tomorrow, hopefully.

Nice but I'm not sure how good of an idea it is to mount a high pressure suction cup to the nav screen

Thumbs up

FedEx guy showed up around 11. I installed my new steering wheel in about an hour while on a conference call. I couldn't wait. Going for a drive now. This thing is great.

I hate to say it, but my car might be done?
