Using an old sock or a textured cloth and silicone tire gel, rub the knobs and dash buttons until the goo gets transferred to the sock. Don't use too much silicone. Buff until all the silicone is removed. The knobs/buttons look perfect. Why the clear plastic coating was used is unknown. It was never needed.

I pulled hard and the radio knob came off. I used toothpaste on an old white sports sock for the face and for the sides I enlisted the services of an old electric toothbrush. The knob came up shiny black and smelled good too !
