Hey guys..

Wondering if anyone had ideas to help with sticky console pieces..

My guage cluster cover, radio surround and gear stick surround are all sticky..

all dust and anything floating in the car seem to stick to it.. tryed a few different wipes and nothing has worked or just made it look worse..

Any ideas short of buying new ones would be appreciated!!

Mick

What has been on them?

like cleaners, moisturisers etc...

sticky like glue or sticky like dust seems to be attracted to them?

markdem - "sol prep" do you mean "prep sol", if so I wouldnt go near an interior with that stuff....

Hey Mate, check out this thread, I had the same problem, but after doing this to mine its been fine for over 2 years now :)

In that link 666Dan starts off with Methylated Spirits which is 95% ethanol. So see if the stickiness dissipates with that first?

Meguiars used to make "The Professional Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner 40" with UV protectant. Not sure if it's still made. I have a bit left for my window mouldings.

Cheers for the link... not keen on having to paint them.. but might have to!! GTR surround would be nice..lol

its the only solution.

i was hesitant at first but now i've done it, couldn't of been happier.

that sticky panels bugged me ever since i got the car.

I should probably do something about mine too.... You got pics of the paint job?

n my old workshop, the detailer used something called 'sol prep'

He actually used prep-sol and the easiest to buy equivalent is Supercheap wax and grease remover.

I personally find IPA  isopropyl alcohol is the least aggressive solvent.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
