Switch panel decolorization
Hi All,
Is it possible to clean switch panel (picture attached)? Or I need to change whole switch panel? |

Is the car smoked in? Try some P&S Interior Cleaner

P&S will clean it up a bit, but I am pretty sure it's the nature of the color of the part. It is still going to look dirty. I would get one new and wrap it with some clear film.

3M clear wrap. You will never have to worry about stains and grime soaking in. One of the reasons I stay clear or light interiors and door cards.

Do not bother cleaning. will not do any good. Had the same interior, loved it but…..sun damage on driver door is unavoidable - I live in South Tx, both front door trim replaced, rear door held well.
trim cost about 30$ a piece, you replace it by leveraging back end with trim tool….when you have replacement in your hand you will know how to take old one out. You can get replacement on e bay as well. |
