General interior question.. Door pulls.

[sparklesTHEpony]

As title not much of a detailing question but a general cleaning one.

It's defo been covered before. But I can't word it to find threads on it.


The door pull handles on the 172&182s are covered in that tacky gel sticky b****cks.

What's the best method of getting these off? Only thing I can think of is hot water and 2500grit paper?


The rest of the stuff (centre console etc) hasn't had 10 years of constant touching so they're fine.

Grab handles however are looking like deformed cheesegraters.

I would just swap them out with my dynamique ones which I'll be selling soon but selling to a mate and I'm not putting shite in it then selling a complete turd.

Yeah, a good soak sorted mine out but they never looked right until I sanded them down and sprayed them satin black.

I took mine off and used a credit card to 'scrape' the crud off. Came up like new once done.

Cheers guys I'll give it a go. Start from the basics then if worst comes to worst.. Yeah lol

Use dettol, has to be the actual stuff. Put them in a bucket or something and fill with dettol with the grab handles facing down. soak them for about an hour or so and the sticky stuff will just drop/peel off by itself!
