Sticky Button & Switch Repair

Peeling, sticky and gooey dashboard buttons and switches refinished for a fraction of dealer replacement cost.

About this service

The soft-touch rubber coating on buttons and switches breaks down over time, turning sticky, gooey and peeling — common across Ferrari, Mercedes, Range Rover, Audi and many others. Dealerships will only quote you a full part replacement, which can run into hundreds or thousands of dollars per switch. We strip the failed coating, rebuild the surface and refinish each button to a clean, factory-style matte finish — solving the problem for a fraction of the price.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my buttons sticky in the first place?

The factory soft-touch rubber coating degrades with age, heat and UV — it is extremely common and not your fault. We remove the failed layer and refinish the surface so it feels right again.

How much cheaper is this than the dealership?

Dealers typically only offer full part replacement, which can cost hundreds to thousands per switch. Our refinishing solves the issue for a small fraction of that.

Will the symbols and backlighting still work?

Yes — we refinish carefully to preserve the printed symbols and any backlighting wherever possible.
