Can we bring this conversation to the top? Someone out there must have a solution. @David Meier Which conversation are your referencing? @dmchao The issue didn't come back? I've heard it does.

I just got my 2015 F Type R today and was detailing the interior and noticed the sticky buttons. On some other items I had with the rubber coating going sticky, I found a youtube video that showed making a thick past of baking soda and water. You rub that on the part then rinse off with water. It really worked and I was shocked. Do not know yet if it would take off the lettering. I will try to remove a button or two and try it out.
I will be ordering the P from Land Rover and getting a new Start button. I may test on the removed pieces and report back.

Just added ‘sticky buttons’ to my to-do list, as I seem to be home a lot more at the moment. Baking soda, unscented hand lotion, credit card scraper, commercial products...
My sticky buttons are just the horizontal ones around the gear selector, not the steering wheel or door buttons thankfully.

There's an older thread that I started that also has some ideas. I used a variety of things and really found none did much more than slightly soften the gooey material which then you can scrap or rub off. My process was painstaking taking probably 5-7 hours and very sore fingers when finished, but it worked and none of the labels or anything were damaged. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...peices-222215/ . I posted som before and afters on the thread.

I had the same problem with my Maserati. I use Totally Awesome cleaner from of all places Dollar General. You have to take your time, and use multiple applications of the stuff. I found by using an old credit card, toothpick, and detailing brush the sticky surface will come off. The print on the buttons will Not come off if you are careful. Its really tedious work.
Another suggestion is to contact Lawrence Rizzo (941)445-2465. He did all the buttons on my old Maserati, they came out great and his cost was reasonable.
I never thought that I would have to go through this again, my old car was a 2003, you would have thought that Jaguar would have learned from the Italian manufacturers.

Frank my16 s coupe, 33,000+ miles, build date
12/11/15 vin K326... I have no sticky buttons, but l use driving gloves most of the time. I find the flat bottom steering wheel slick under my hands and driving gloves from my years of owning a 63 e type coupe work well.

Refreshing an old post for those still having issues with the sticky buttons. I got around to doing the head unit around the screen and finally found something that actually works. It still takes a fair amount of rubbing, but it worked better than anything else I've tried. The product is a makeup remover and soap made by Philosophy. The product name is Purity. https://www.philosophy.com/purity-ma...ple-clean.html
