Paint or Clearcoat after De-gooing?

I would not paint or clear coat. There are many sprays that are used for correcting dull exterior black parts like bumper trim. Put a little on a clean rag and rub it on the interior de-goo-ed pieces. Simple and very effective

 

I just de-stickied the steering housing and then I put on Jescar synthetic wax on it. It’s crazy but worked real well. You could even use one of the crystal wax hybrids that would work even better I would think as it supposed to last long, plus it’s in the interior with minimal sun.

Best of all, you can do it in 2 minutes...

What did you use to degoo?
My friend who runs Motorcar Gallery told me that Westley’s Whitewall cleaner is very effective and doesn’t damage the plastic. Works perfectly.

 

70% rubbing alcohol from the drug store. Came off really easily. Other parts took a lot of rubbing, the shroud was easy

There is a product called Bulldog available in Auto Paint supply stores. It's a prep wipe down for plastic parts to insure good adhesion of paint. If you use it you can usually spray the parts with a good paint of your choice (even a quality rattle can) and it will usually hold up really well. I have used it to change the color of plastic trim pieces (including handles) on seats with good results.

 

When I had my 360 I sent mine to a good upholstery shop and had alcantara applied. Today I would send it off to Dave Lelonek to have it refinished!

 

I sprayed mine with Krylon satin black and I like it. I am pretty careful when putting the key in the ignition so I don't ever have to do all of that again.

 

I used paint brush cleaner. If you soaked it all night, it would eat up the plastic. But for a quick wipe down, it worked like a champ.
