Plastic interior scratches...

[mikk]

if you do go the sanding and painting route, use some 400grit to start with, then work down to 1500 grit. wet sanding is better. it will have a nice finish ready for plastic polish by then.

if you would like to paint it, clean it off with wax and grease remover or thinners and then let it dry for an hour or so.

Then paint with this stuff:
B&Q - Plasti-kote Super Spray Satin Black 400ml customer reviews - product reviews - read top consumer ratings

It's Plasti-kote Satin Super (Black). I tried the normal one and the Matte one, but Satin is very close in appearance to the original finish. I couldn't find any other paint that is closer. Make sure to avoid the plasti-kote plastic paint, it bubbles from being in the hot sun. These paints can be bought it Bunnings, but I think they aren't restocking them, which is quite annoying as they are an excellent paint. They do cost more than the other brands though and usually the ones on the shelf look a little old and dusty.

The Dulux paint used to be good but they seem to have changed the formula years ago to something that you can't get so high off... since then it doesn't cure as well as it used to and will always get sticky and rub off if you handle it. Probably cheaper for them to make too.

I had the same problem with my Mk 4 dash panels with sticky stuff on them.
Tried various solvents and by chance I had a small bottle of "Dettol Healthy Touch Instant Hand Sanitizer" in the car and gave it a try - it worked and so far no ill effects (did most of the panels almost a year ago)
I used a small hand towel - apply some sanitizer to a small part and rub and rub - it does take a bit of effort - as the sticky stuff comes off on the towel use some more sanitizer on a clean part of the towel until you have removed all the sticky stuff.
As usual do at your own risk - if in doubt try the sanitizer on a small area to confirm no ill effects.

the old plastic kitchen scourer warm water with dishwashing liquid worked a treat for me - no scratching and looking factory finish. For ease and thoroughness I removed centre console and went to work on the kitchen sink for a spanking result. As the head light switch panel has some signs of the rubbery crap wearing away it's next ----- suckery to that rubbery finish!!
It does feel lovelllly on on the tips of fingertips that rubbery finish until it wears away,,,, bit by bit, back to my Sparkling Ale
