My detailer used magic eraser and did amazing job. Perfect, no; but 90% restored. Smooth and no stick.
Good job on the sticky buttons. And congrats on a growing channel. 👍
Thank you sir, much appreciated it!
Looks amazing nice work 🇮🇹👌🏻
Excellent job. You have a lot of patience to do this sticky problem. I found out about this problem from a friend in car biz. I’m looking at a 2018 Gran Tourismo in Florida that probably has this same thing. Does it affect the actual function of the buttons?
I am hesitant to spend that kind of money if it affects the function of the car. Thanks for sharing that vid.
Thanks. I will definitely never do it again. Not worth the brain damage. Sticky buttons do not affect the functionality but it's absolutely disgusting when all that paint melts and attracts dirt and hair.
Nice work. My GT is in worse condition than yours. The center console (where you have CF) is the same sticky finish on mine. So are the window and seat controls. Will the labels come off if I try to remove the sticky finish on the buttons? What is the solution to handling anything with a label or words?
Thanks. The labels won't come off if you use ammonia or a mild cleaner. They will come off if you use alcohol or paint stripper. The labels will come off from the ac vents regardless of what you use as they are printed on top of that soft touch garbage. I also did the QP on the channel without CF in the center console, you can see there how I take it apart.
Goodfellas Garage thank you for the quick reply. You handled the trim removal very expertly and the finish looks factory. Perhaps you could start a service where people can send in their parts and have you refinish it. 👍😊
You are welcome. I was surprised that I managed not to break anything. This is just a hobby for me, if I turn it into a business then it becomes a job. If you have any more questions or stuck at a particular stage, don't hesitate to ask.
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars Yeah I know what you mean. I will check out the QP video to check out how you did the center console.
I'm curious. What was the paint you used? Some of my interior is a chocolate brown sticky mess. I bought mine with only 3K miles on it and it already had some of that sticky goo on there.I've kept it in a garage the past 3 years but its still bad here in Texas. I'm considering selling it but if I keep it, I'll have to follow your video and do mine.
The paint is SEM 15243. I also did a 2011 QP two years ago and it's still holding up well.
Excellent video. I tried guitar cleaner as recommended by another UA-cam video and created an even bigger, stickier problem for the "Shark" (2010 Maserati GranTurismo grey convertible). I see that you are in Boca? Any chance that I could hire you to strip and repaint my buttons once the Shark relocates to Palm Beach county this fall? My only criticism is that you address your audience as "Fellas". I do not personally know any other lady spaghetti car enthusiasts out there but just like aliens; I am pretty sure they exist. ;-) Thanks for the super video.
Thank you for the compliments Lori, they are greatly appreciated. I do say "fellas and ladies" in the beginning so it's a standing greeting 😁
I am actually an attorney so UA-cam/car thing is just a hobby and I don't work on other people's cars. There is a company in California that fixes sticky buttons but you have to take all the panels out and mail to them. They charge about 6-7k depending on how many pieces needs work.
Dam that car interior is Soo nice
Yeah, its gorgeous.
Wow man, amazing job. Made it look easy.
What's up with the baccala...I mean sticky buttons on a Maserati? Lol.
Sweet ride 👍
Thanks man. Yeah, all Italians, Europeans and even American cars had this problem. Ferrari still has it to this day.
I ran across a combination that works well to remove the stickiness. Neutrgena makeup remover and isopropyl alcohol. You are welcome.
Great job by you buddy. I hate a sticky button
Thanks, I appreciate it. I hate sticky buttons as well, they are disgusting.
Amazing job... The vent blades must have sucked
Thanks! The vents were a total PITA.
That steering wheel is so sick
Yeah, I love that carbon.
I need my done asap.How much and where are you located?
I am not a repair shop.
Your text description of the video has one big fault: It is not an issue of what you call spagheti cars. It is an issue of different premium cars of this era. Merceds S-class, SL and some BMWs have the same issue.
Beautiful car.
Thank you!
how to remove the gear shift knob?
Grab with both hands and pull up hard. It's friction fit.
How can you drive with those flip-flops
I drive just fine thank you 😁
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars I just tried it with out my shoes it feels weird👽
@@yularambula6406 Driving stickshift without shoes on is the best. You really get the feel the clutch. Unfortunately it's illegal to drive barefoot in Florida. (It's also illegal to live and breathe in Florida).
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars haha I'mma take your word for it but to many crazy drivers I ain't risking it.
