You need some of that stick on carbon Fibre or the paint finish that seems to be popular on the e of bay!

I cleaned the black off the edges of the side panels and painted them with satin black, if it lasts, i will do it to the switch panels

Tacky or Sticky which I have a couple of of aftermarket switches that have gone sticky.
Interesting. Its a chemical reaction and I would have thought that amongst all the clever people on this forum and their wider contacts that some chemist could work out an antidote. Paint does not do it for me so I will try some random chemicals and get back to you.
Thanks

And then you can become one of those ''clever people'. And have helped others in the process.
That's what keeps the forum going

Make a paste of baking soda or use orange essential oil. Works on most plastics

Could also try isopropyl alcohol which removes the outer coating

It's not plastic, it's some kind of coating on the plastic. Acetone improves it a bit but is very aggressive.

Which parts of the dash are we talking about? I've not noticed any stickiness on mine.

Nor mine.
95s are probably dried out by now no urea left in them

Around the switches, the little fan intake and the edges past the radio down towards the gear lever.
