Sticky Parts - Be gone !

LOL! I cannot believe some of the comments I am reading. Cheap oven cleaner will correct the sticky parts issue??? Ferrari? Are you hillbillies serious? I am a used car dealer and I wouldn't do something like that to a trade-in! I bought my first Ferrari (1995 F355 Spider w/ 7k) last November and I had Robbie at Sticky-no-more refinish my HVAC panel. It wasn't cheap but well worth it because it looks perfect. I found out about Robbie through e-bay as most new owners naturally look there first. My advice to all Ferrari owners with "sticky" issues is call Robbie at Sticky-no-more and just have it done correctly because its well worth it from everyday use to resale. Robbie also needs to advertise more on ebay simply because it's cheapest worldwide advertising available.

 

If I get to the stage of taking them off, I will send them to you to do anyway.

Does anybody know how to remove the 348 metal door handles ?

 

My point as well

 

I have a pdf fie of the door handle/panel removal of the 355---If someone can confirm they are similar on the 348 model, I can forward that to you

 

They are held on by one screw located right below it.

 

Thanks.

I will check out what VTC suggests below and see if I can remove them, as easy as it sounds.

 

One screw mate, easy peasy.

 

My oven is self cleaning.....

 

still haven't seen the "oven cleaner" results pics.

 

That is probably due to the fact they come out sub-par.
Sounds like the Doctors book of home remedies. Some sound so good and so easy, yet you try it and cannot seem to get the same results the book preaches.

Why is the steering column surround so shiny? The paint or did you buff it out?

 

I believe you, except for the door handles and the ashtray lid--Oven cleaner will not take the sticky stuff off those metal parts and leave behind a decent finish.... At least I have never seen that on metal parts in the 1000's of parts I have done....

 

Did you cover the metal pieces with tape?

 

looks great! I never used oven cleaner but did use some plain iso. alcohol and it cleaned up the sticky mess on my ashtray pretty nicely.

 

Good job, they look great!!!!!!
Oven cleaner makes sence as well cause its chemicals are made to clean very sticky Fat on Kitchen stuff
and teaching also to many people here to learn to talk after they see

many thanks to you.....

 

Nice work mate.

 

And what's wrong with being a hillbilly????

 

ok--

 

Mine looks like goo on metal, when the goo is removed I think you are left with a silver/diecast finish of the metal.

 

That's is a dame good job !

I have done 550 , 512TR, 360's etc with Wurth spray cleaner on some parts others acetone and soda in the blast cabinet, also some items like the steering wheel cover look better painted.

Rob does a great job from what I have seen and heard so if you don't have the talent or time. Send the off to Stickynomore !

 

Your left with a nasty looking pot metal finish. The metal Ferrari uses is not very good. I have had parts with scrapes, gouges, pitting, etc after removing the coating. You will either have to paint or buff out any of the metal parts after stripping...
