Can't help cleaning them up but I follow Mat Armstrong on YouTube and he recently replaced / upgraded his buttons on his L405

I had a very similar situation in one of my L405s, best thing I found was a very damp antibac wipe and gently keep wiping off the rubber coating (almost peeling it off), its not quick nor easy and quite scary. It's the failure of the rubber coating which starts to degrade over time, I also have same issue on my Ferrari and they are renown for it, just for fun search Ferrari sticky buttons, and think yourself lucky!!. Once the rubber coating is off then its just the button with the white image, but in time the button will need to be replaced but what it does do is remove the sticky stuff which should last a few years.

One quick point to make... The gesture volume function does not work on the Chinese switchpacks! |

Thank you all. After making matters much much worse myself. (embarrassed) I opted to swop them out with the Chinese switch packs from a reputable uk supplier. Yes they don't have the gesture feature but I couldn't justify over £800 on such a frivolous thing. This version does everything its supposed to with no bugs and of course looks neater especially as I upgraded the head unit and ac panel too.

Where you twiddle your finger around in a circle ⭕️ in front of the left switchpack and the volume increases or decreases which ever way you turn your finger…
