So my wife recently bought a 2003 Golf GTI. After come repairs, we finally had time to give the car a complete detail. The car cleaned up nice and luckily the leather has been treated well over its lifetime. Anyhow, we've had one issue.
Some of the plastic interior pieces were tacky/sticky. I figured something had gotten spilled. But it was on parts of the interior that would be pretty hard to get liquid on. Anyways, we sprayed the plastic with the interior cleaner, scrubbed it down and it never really came off. I have never seen an interior with this issue. I'd take a picture but it doesnt show well so there's no point.
Anyways, I have no idea how to clean this off. My wife ended up picking at one part of the center console and the stuff started coming off. But theres a good 3 panels like this including part of the center console. Like I said, the interior cleaner didnt work (we tried it multiple times) and realistically, picking it clean isnt an option. Is there anything else we can spray on the plastic to try and remove this? FWIW the interior panels are black. I suspect one of the previous owners smoked in the car.
