Gooey Radio *****

Hey any suggestions on cleaning these radio ***** up, Looking at buying a used turbo cab and these ***** are rude! I had an S500 that all the plastic tipped controls that got almost gooey/sticky to the touch, these radio ***** feel about the same.

I think this is a common problem-got mine replaced just before the CPO ended. Wonder if that Plastidip would work-it seems to have lots of uses and you could change the color!?

Who needs the Radio anyways? If its a manual, your to busy rowing through the gears with a turbo!


I have the transit Blu in my car. I touch the volume button, never. I control volume and track selection with my phones connection to it.

I just scrubbed them hard with a wet microfiber cloth and they eventually got clean. You could try some diluted Simple Green. Worst case, you ruin them and buy new ones for $30 at Suncoast.
