Thanks for the great video but members should try using Denatured Alcohol prior to going into taking things apart. See the post https://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f92/sticky-plastic-interior-pieces-405241/ where this was discussed. I wiped mine down with strong Denatured Alcohol from Home Depot a year ago and it took the goo off completely. It looked like factory new when I was done (60 seconds) and still looks factory fresh a year later. Your vid is good because it also paints the silver ring that all of us have to deal with when the paint chips/peals/scratches. I put CF wrap on mine but the Plasticoat is awesome stuff to!

I know what you mean I used acetone to remove the tacky layer off prior to sanding and it came off but It looked somewhat faded and some of the scratches where deep that’s why I sanded and painted
