TurboDuo CD Door advice, if I can't remove the problem, how can I cover it up?

[JohnnyPhantom]

Hey everyone!
I recently got a TurboDuo for $5 and it works, long story short. The CD door has something on it or melted into it that I can't seem to remove. I've tried vaseline, soap + water, gasoline, and more with no difference. So looking for any advice on what to try next (looking for solutions that wont cause any more damage or eat away the plastic). I've also posted a WTB topic looking for a replacement door. Or is there a badass looking decal I can slap over it? or should I just leave it alone/as-is?



Thanks everyone!

Have you tried rubbing alcohol and or Ronson lighter fluid?

Sparky can hook you up with a fly as f*ck sticker to cover that noise up.



It's likely unfixable. 

You could try getting the same shade of matte enamel-y paint and just touch it up but it will still look dumb.   Stickers = Success.

It doesn't look like goo though.

It looks like the previous owner spilled napalm on the top or something.  That looks like melted and smoothed plastic jive.

Yep, beat me to it. Goo Gone has got off shit I thought would never get off.

[JohnnyPhantom]

I'll give Goo Gone a shot as my last effort before I cover it up with a decal, any particular "Flavor" of goo gone since I think I've seen different versions/strengths unless im being completely wrong and stupid

[Obfuscate]

This is what I always use.

Thanks I'll give it a shot, nothing to lose, should I just rub it on with a rag? or just apply it, let it sit and then rub it off?

Have you tried heating it up with a heat gun or hair dryer

I have not, be too afraid of warping it

[Obfuscate]

Yep, put some on a rag or directly on then wipe with a rag, super easy. Small bottle probably last you a lifetime also.

[JohnnyPhantom]

Sounds like a plan! Thanks!! Looks like my local walmart has it in stock so I'll grab some today on the way home
