OMG, soft touch says it all. The worst inventuon ever. Makes sure your premium caar feels disgusting after only a few years. My 2001 Audi A6 had it. But because of the excellent Audi Canbus, this is no longer one of my problems. Viva 850!

This irritated me quite a bit - the switchgear. I popped it all out a few years ago, cleaned it and I then clear-coated it and let it cure before popping back in. The clear-coat evens out the appearance of it and preserves the labels. Adds a harder protective coating so it doesn’t wear more. It really freshened the interior.
