Title: Interior Cleaning advice
Post by: Jan Suhr on 02 November 2019, 18:37:38
On the buttons in the car, like headlight switch, window switches and so on they seem to be coated with some kind of rubber material. They get dirty after many years and are difficult to clean. If I use interior cleaning swipes those buttons seem to become very sticky and the solvent in the cleaning swipes seems to dissolve the rubber coating making them sticky and goey.

Does anyone know of some kind of cleaning solutions that don't dissolve that coating?


Thanks

Be careful on switches ,you end up rubbing the black off surrounding the instruction symbol :(

I had the same problem on the steering switches of my R Class .....  :'( Never did find anything suitable that didn't remove the coating.

Well, I used 70% alcohol, so as you said I ruined the buttons even more . I can't find replacement stickers for the buttons, so I ll try some workshop that repairs buttons

Thanks I'll try that, Ambersil is a CRC brand name and over here it is sold as "CRC Textile Clean Foam". I have some spare parts  I can test it on first.

It's the only thing I use on my cars for general interior cleaning ;)
