Awesome thank you, this has been driving me mad on my L405. I didn't want to risk experimenting with different products in case I rubbed all the lettering off etc.
So I assume that the buttons have a rubber-feeling coating on them originally, and that coating has deteriorated and become sticky. The isopropyl alcohol dissolves the coating. So it changes the touch and feel of the button from its original, right? Just want to confirm what I will expect before doing this trick.
You are correct, the process removes the rubberized coating on the buttons. It honestly doesn't drastically change the touch/feel of the buttons though. They are a bit smoother to the touch, but I'd certainly rather have them be extra smooth versus sticky and peeling.
Yes, exactly. You can either remove the coating or deal with the aesthetic of sticky and peeling buttons. They really don't feel too much different with the coating removed.
Thanks for this information. All of the Jaguar/Land Rover buttons are the same, but your absolutely right that if one is going to attempt this on another make or style of button, proceed with caution and try the alcohol in an inconspicuous area first.
This is great, my wife has been looking for stuff to clean my same truck like yours for few years.

Glad the video was helpful! Just work slowly and you'll be fine.
Thanks for that. Not too much of the good ole elbow grease gotcha!

Your taking off the soft touch rubber on the switch

👍👍
99% isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloths work great
in my Maserati alcohol took all the black paint off the plastics and buttons. I would suggest being careful
