Unless you are very lucky, many of you with older Gran Turismos will have varying degrees of wear on the soft touch coating on your dashboard keys. I have unsightly marks especially on the Audio buttons and have read many threads on You Tube and elsewhere that claim to rectify this with a wide range of chemicals like Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol.
Apparently there are two ways in which the manufacturers laser etch the buttons. The first being that they first spray the button with a hard plastic coating and then the soft touch coating and then laser the digits after. The first coating is not affected by the two chemicals and the damages is rectified.
The second way is that the button is only coated with soft touch and then etched. If Goo Gone is applied it leaves just a white button and therefore damages the facia permanantly.
My question is, what method did Maserati use and has anyone been brave enough to try cleaning them?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
