My demister switch and cruisecontrol switchs have a chalky feel to them. The dimister has a thickish crust and the cruise is just surfaced base. Can these be lightly sanded and painted ??
If so, I would presume that vinyl paint would be the way to go but I was thinking of one of those shiny paints that I have seen at Supercheap. (not the chrome paint)

I think it's a common thing for EA - ED's. I presume thats what car you own? I tried Armoral but did nothing, Actually it looked great for about 2 minutes but once it dried it was back to that faded grey look. The console in my EB is the same way.

Most people that I have heard of used a little bit of toothpaste on a toothbrush to fix the buttons.
I used some soapy water and a sponge, and a little scrubbing. Didn't come up too bad, but not as good as what I hear toothpaste brings. --Striker.

^^^^^ what he said  Apparently baby oil works wonders on the chalky plastic. Im yet to try it as mine arent too bad, apart from the inside C pillar covers at the rear

Baby oil is the goer
 Or just some general household oil works well too.

Playing with babyoil in the car and accidently spilt it on his chalky buttons? Id try some autoglyme bumper/plastic renovator if you could.. I swear by the stuff, makes anything plastic look BETTER than new, lasts ages n smells good enough to eat lol! For the record, no i havnt eaten it; yet.

Well I could suggest something else that works wonders too, but we won't go there! |

I used "Black Trim Wax" on my ones in an old EB Ghia I had.
They were almost white when I bought the car and after one go with this stuff they looked brand new and the writing stood out really well. I got the stuff from Marlows, now Super Sheep Auto's. It is really handy on all the outside window trims and C pillar covers as well. Much better than Armourall. A bottle lasts for ages as well. If anyone is interested I will check out who makes the stuff. Phil
