Did the left side door handles this morning. Took some sanding to smooth out the top and still, there is some pitting to the plastic itself. Ideally should have applied several layers of base and sanded it down again but quite frankly I don't think it's worth the effort. Pretty happy with the result and I can revisit at any time. Though something is telling me that I won't have to, not any time soon...

Thank you, Pete. It was a much needed job. Right side ones to follow next week, weather permitting. Those are not nearly as bad as the left hand side. |

The black trim between the seats had also been peeling off. The material is exactly the same as the latch release buttons trim at the top of the seat backs. And so is the treatment. Complete strip down and several coats of black plastics spray.

Too windy to work outside so the door handles on the right are postponed.

I'm quite happy with the result. I'd give this job an 8/10. Looks a lot better even though the colour came out a bit ... buffier than the original. Still acceptable imho.

I don't think they do spray cans...

The horrible, sticky coating of the cup holders had been peeling for ages. Somehow I never seemed to get around to doing something about it.

That looks good, and won't wear off, if your door window switches are peeling you can peel it all off and get a good finish, if you think the cup holder took a long time it's a 2min job compared to the buttons...!!! It's a "nearly free" job though... |

Great job! I removed the tailgate trim using dental floss.
