    Has anyone come across this before: Some of the interior components that are black and made of hard rubber seem to be doing weird things. It is developing a black sticky coating that gets on your hands, cloths, etc, it is like the surface is melting but it is not melting. What is going on and how do I take care of it? Anyone know?

    You can easily remove the sticky gunk with EASY OFF OVEN CLEANER. Get the fume free , blue can. Rub surface areas with cotton cloth soaked in Easy Off. Black gunk will come right off. The sticky stuff is the result, some say, of the heat from sun and silicon products such as ArmorAll that has been applied to parts. Its a messy job, but it works.

    I think you're only supposed to clean ovens with that stuff. It's OVEN CLEANER. If you want to clean a Ferrari, get some FERRARI CLEANER.

    DON'T REMOVE IT! This substance was an option on the Fiorano models.
