Our 06 E320 has a lot of gummy 'stuff' on the dash surface of the light switch. MB said it was deterioration of clear coat. Which I think is stupid.

Adviser said they couldn't do anything but sand it and that would turn it black. He said they could replace the switch for about $600. I told them forget it.

I can't believe we have the only 06 doing this.

I got home and got some industrial goo gone and it cleaned up.

My question is can I paint it with clear fingernail polish to protect it.

Thanks

I had the same crap on the surfaces of my steering wheel controls, I just spent some time scraping it off with my fingernail. Problem solved.

Same here.

Goo Be Gone can soften it up and make it easier

Any way to seal it to prevent it happening in future?
