As above...
I got my 3.0Si back from a service recently and as per usual the mechanics seemed to have got it dirty inside plus I have actually been driving it the last couple of weeks. So, at the weekend it seemed time to give the interior a bit of a Spring clean.
What I (wrongly) took for a small bit of thick dirt from a mechanic's hand on the steering wheel trim by the stereo volume switch was given a little 'attention' with a very slightly dampened with APC soft sponge. That's when I realised it wasn't dirt! I now know it's the rubberised coating...and I've made it look 10x worse by wearing some of it away!
I've read a couple of older threads on here now about respraying them with varying advice but is there now a definitive, up-to-date method and type of spray to use? It seems Plastidip is not recommended?
Thanks

Best option is to matt paint.
I plan to do same as mine are work through the rubberised coating.
