    Thanks for the rocking seat answers to yesterday's question.
    In the ads section someone mentioned a "sticky" interior that he had removed and repainted. I have the same "sticky" interior pieces and spent about an hour with the "409" bottle removing a lot of it.
    My question is: What causes the stickiness, what is it and how do you get rid of it. Or, do I have to get a new bottle of 409?

    Ez-Off oven cleaner will do the trick.

    Don't use Armorall on the black interior trim pieces.

    An archive search will give you various options and products to use to deal with this; here's what I did:
    Removed all affected pieces which included the entire center console inc. ashtray, the door handles, interior side mirror covers, and R & L air vents. Some were not as bad as others. Sprayed them with EZ-Off, let 'em set for a few minutes, then scrubbed (carefully!) off the old coating. Resprayed with black Plasti-Dip, which gave a nice satin finish.

    I'm happy with the result, longevity of the Plasti-Dip TBD

    An easier (but probably less finished) look can be attained by leaving the affected pieces in place and cleaning with Goof Off 2 and Qtips. I used a couple hundred Qtips to do my interior and it has remained non-sticky for about 9 months now.
