Likely not. The COMAND or audio unit needs replaced.

Seems like a good reason to avoid using cleaning products on the interior plastic surfaces including buttons. There is no guarantee that any cleaning solution is entirely compatible with plastic interior pieces.

Just the ones frequently used... not a quality button. Cleaning has nothing to do with the delamination.
