Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Tacky 512TR interior

[Dennis Liu (BigHeadDennis]

When I saw the subject line, I immediately thought, "wait, Larry B is asking
about the tacky interior of his Ferrari, when he should be more concerned
about his tacky wardrobe?!?"

But then I read the question.  Larry, I'm sending you a separate email with
detailed instructions (with pictures) on how to strip the rubberized
material, and then paint on a replacement.  It's all too common, and
emblematic of poor quality of the era (along with shrinking dash leather,
airbag covers, etc.).  

Aside from this type of fairly dramatic repair, I don't know of any other
"fix" for the problem.  Alternatively, you can just strip off the rubberized
material and return it as just bare plastic.

BTW, current common belief is that this sticky effect is a result of using
armor-all or like chemicals to clean the interior.  Ironically, those who
clean their cars less have less of a problem.

Vty,

--Dennis

Subject: [Ferrari] Tacky 512TR interior

Drove the car this morning and was upset to find the rubberized plastic
(???) trim in the interior (e.g., around the heater controls and on the left
door around the mirrors adjustment switch) tacky (i.e., sticky).  Any
suggestions for eliminating and preventing future recurrences of this
problem?

Thanks,
Larry
