Is there a guide on removing the centre console? I can live with the steering column upper shroud at the moment as it only attracts dust and not finger prints, and although still sticky to touch, is not manky to look at. The centre console however - ughh. It's not particularly sticky, just that the soft touch is all scratched. I've also read that you have to be very careful with the gear indicator display thing where the D/N/R etc is quite fragile.Ive got my QPV centre console and steering column shroud upper/lower apart at the moment to de-sticky. Whatever is on there is on good. I'm just gonna send them off to a mate of mine that runs a bodyshop to sort out. I did the same as you and removed the sticky stuff from the round buttons quite easily. and even the smaller trim pieces it came off quite easily. I spent 15 mins with acetone on the centre console and was barely making a dent in it so i gave up
Edit - the centre console isnt actually that difficult to remove. its a little fiddly getting the shifter to separate and i accidently removed the wrong tabs. What annoyed me more was how all of the captive threads on the underside of the console were splitting apart
