MK4 "Soft Touch" removal?

[EuroBloke]

I have a simple question regarding this Soft Touch material layed on select plastic pieces. It has worn its days out, it's peeled, and its holding dirt. Looks like crap after a week I cleaned it. But this soft touch material as we know that's layed on the door handles, center console and radio surround? I'm roughly tired of looking at how it looks, and I can take it off with my nails. But that's too time consuming and i'm trying to get the surface complete even.

So is there any method to knowing a best, clean, quick and effective route?

I would really appreciate the assistance. Thank you all.

if you pop the pieces from the door handles off, the soft touch comes off pretty well with the green scrubby side of the sponge with soap and water. After you get most of that crap off, if there is any sticky adhesive junk left, wipe it off using some isopropyl rubbing alcohol and it should come off

As for the radio surrounding pieces and cupholder lid... its a huge pain to get that off because it is attached to the cage holding in the radio and cd player... but it can be removed and scrubbed to look like flat black plastic. Or you can get fancy!

heres what i did to my car a couple weeks ago concerning the same problem

Thank you so much, man!! I asked a few locally, they were like "Use mineral spirits and a paint scraper".... oh hell naw. But i'll get to work today on it!

Dope set up in your jetta btw. I was going to vinyl wrap all the pieces something.

But cheers brother!

i used diluted "purple power" cleaner and a finger nail brush. took a while, im sure finger nail polish of something along the lines of that would work well

Simple Green and a skotch brite pad work well but it leaves the plastic gray. just hit it with some Refinsh Restorer and the parts come out mint.

I used a small knife a scraped it all off and them went over it with scotch bright and alcohol to clean the rest of it off. Very stupid idea VW had painting interior parts that were already that color LMAO. Big time fail! But, you can correct that mistake with taking things apart and some elbow grease.

we used acetone and a scotch bright pad on the beetle.
