Stains caused by Cigarette smoke

Phil Clayton wrote: Walmart sells a spray cleaner in a white spray (or gallon refill) called Crown Cleaner. If the nicotine/tar is not embedded into the plastic itself, then spray this on a let it sit a second. It will come right off, no problem. To get rid of the sticky feeling afterwards just reclean it with Windex or a damp sponge with plain water. For the permanent stains, I disassemble and lightly sand the parts and then tack rag them. I get the cheap stain finish paint that Walmart sells (since it has toluene base and will soften into the plastic and stay for good) and repaint the whole piece with the applicable paint. They have a black, light grey, tan and off white that match the original colors nearly to the T. I let them dry very well, usually overnight to make sure that nothing has softened, and then wipe them down good with a damp rag to get rid of the excess spray dust and then reassemble. I use denatured alcohol to clean them prior to painting to make sure there isn't any oily stuff left. The paint hting is great if you have a cracked panel too. Reglue the piece with super glue, fill with plastic filler (testor's for models) and then sand until it's back to original finish. Then refinish like I said above but be sure the item is clean (tack rag is best and very cheap). Hope this helps.
