- Many Ferrari's along with other manufacturers suffer with the horrible black sticky goo interior rubberised coating after a few years. In the video I will show you how to save thousands and FIX it yourself.
Ferrari are not the only Supercar Manufacturer to use this rubberized coating: Lamborghini Porsche BMW, Alfa Romeo Maserati Mercedes and MANY others all use the same finish. This video applies to them all as its the same process.

It's crazy that even more recent Ferraris have this issue. I trust they've found a new supplier and this problems still doesn't exist.
Fantastic results for a small price. My 348 has been sticky for years, I will have a go in the spring. Thanks for the tip
Wow Scott that turned out amazing I have some things I can try this on "thank ".
I have the same problem with my gti. Thank you for this tip.
Great look with the finished product!!! Nice to be able to do that without shipping it off to buffalo!
Thanks for the info! I'm in the U.S. having the same issue on a Chevrolet Corvette. Such a common and irritating issue.
Nice! I was hoping that you were going to clean up the console. It gave me an idea for mine on my Alfa; thanks for that. I've bought 'good used' plastic parts that were NOT as good as the Ebay pix LOL.
Many thanks for this. I need to sort the switches etc my F355.
Another great video, thanks for sharing it. Need to give my 355 the same love.
Cheers Chris, hope the video helps
good result. but just to add, using paint thinner on plastic surface is a bit risky. Thinner melts the plastic, you may not notice right away but plastic becomes very brittle and can easily break(depending on how think the panel is and how old)
There is a special paint stripper that is safe for plastics that I saw at a SEMA show unfortunately I can’t remember the name and Google searches are worthless.
@@PatHaskell TAMIYA 87183 Paint Remover, or another model paint remover should work very well.
Rubbing alcohol seems to work also.
Thanks for this brother. I started my 348 steering column covers today. Upgraded to a steel putty knife and the peel has been oddly satisfying :) Gonna do the nasty vents next -- do they just pop right out? also any tips for getting into the openings etc. Thanks again!! looking forward to a clutch/flywheel re-grease video for the 348
Alcohol works very well also that was what I used, and a lot less toxic.
Oven Cleaner is another option to remove all that sticky mess
Well done Sir.
The way I fixed sticky buttons on my Maserati Gransport was just taking a microfibre cloth and rubbing the affected part gently but firmly till all the sticky stuff was rubbed off. I was left with perfect plastic parts :) you'll find that the plastic under the coating is sound, it's just the top rubber coating that is sticky
Time consuming though
If you are using a metal scraper, take a minute to round off the blade corners to avoid scratches. Or use the polycarbonate single edge "razor" blades, made to be used instead of metal blades. They don't scratch.
Thanks for your video. Could you tell me how durable is it? ...does it scratch easily or start coming off? thanks
Does the plastic dip spray have the same feel more or less as the original? Thanks.
Thinner seems somewhat aggressive, especially for 30 year old brittle plastic. I’ve used washing soda myself, which is more gentle and may take more time, but it does the job just as well.
I've used flat black spray paint. Looks great and won't peel off later on.
Yep, so did I. I’ve got this spray paint that is specially made for plastic bumpers, so it’s scratch-resistant and has a nice, natural sort of matte finish.
Since the 90's when a lot of companies started using offshore cheap sources, a lot of "rubber" and plastic parts have been going gummy and failing because of improper mixing & curing, or plain bad materials. Car trim, plastic headsets, rubber LP turntable mats, all sorts of stuff turns to crap. Ferrari, like most companies, probably has no idea what their vendors are really supplying. In the US we've even had dashboards melting, in cars from several companies that never used to have these problems.
What kind of chip do you use to diagnose the Ferrari 360 spider with the iPhone?
Useful to know and excellent results.
A couple of problems are the acoustics and lighting in your conservatory are poor and also waving the switches around in front of the camera is annoying. Please try to hold the item still and in better lighting or do separate shots right with items on a bench if possible.
Use "Neutrogena Makeup Remover" 25 towelletes
you can buy it at any local drug store. It's safe for facial skin, then it should be safe for car interior parts.
It works. I tried.
6:29 finally gets to the project at hand.
My Maserati since coming to asian from USA has melted all plastic on the dash, I have been watching different videos on how to repair it without sending it in for a costly referb, which I believe will last about another 2 years, I assume the Maserati also has this rubber coating on, is this different than other plastics that get sticky and can be gently rubbed clean with a soft touch and some basic cleaners. I want to start with a no invasive clean with parts still left in dash, but little worried I will make the problem worse, The condition is looking very sticky in some areas.
David Phipps yes Maserati use exactly the same rubber finish, you’ll probably also find a lot of the switch are used in another ferrari model.
Take a simple small part and go that first. Worse case you just leave it with the plastic black base as many owners also do
What a coincidence. Picked up an umbrella I haven't used in 3 years ( and bought 11 years ago ) and its rubberised handle has degraded to a sticky mess. I'll try thinners on it and see what happens !
Question for Mr Ratarossa Sir: after stripping with thinner, is the new paint more durable? Or will suffer the same issues over time?
Plastidip is crap in my opinion. And you definitely need more than one coat, 3 or 4 at least
Hey I think you need to have a word with Sam from seen through glass as he's about yo spend 3-4 grand! Taking care of his sticky button problem on his 360! Which seems like madness and spending that much I assume he's getting brand new switches although he didn't say but if its covered in the same stuff as before he'll just have the same problem in the future!
Well done Scott. I have sticky buttons to sort out on our 456 and 550. Which type of stripper or thinner did you successfully use to strip off the old goo. The video did not make that clear. Do let us know.Chris
How durable is the plasti dip? The negative reviews on amazon say it rubs off quite easily? Thanks for the vid.
definately not . I would not use plasti dip
Where can I get the decals for 355 vents ??
Just adding my tuppence worth, when you stripped it back, could you have put any other coating (such as spray paint) rather than the rubber? It’s just a thought, I appreciate the video despite not being one to work on cars.
Yes that would work and others do that
@@Ratarossa Hi, thanks for great video on this subject, I just want to share my views - I did a restoration of interior parts on a 'much cheaper' :D Seat (known VAG fault after years) - I did it using methylated spirit to clean the parts of black rubbery stuff (slightly more rubbing but prepares it for paint), then just two coats of 'VHT vinyl dye' in satin black. Repeated on my brothers Alfa 159 door handles etc.
Where do I buy a super cheap old Ferrari like that? Wow 😂. I have relatives from the UK :-) I'm in Indiana, USA
is that acrylic thinners ?
I would be concerned that cellulose thinners would soften and melt the plastic parts.
I think the factory must have changed the coating. I've been de-sticky-info my 430 Scud buttons using simple green motorsports cleaner, and the 'goo' that comes off is clear/yellow, leaving bare black plastic buttons with lettering intact. Was able to do some of them without removal... as the cleaner so used did not affect/damage the carbon fiber trim... just very tedious with cotton swabs. Initially looks like it's getting worse, as coating becomes whitish with exposure to cleaner... but it comes off completely with patience. Hardest bits were radio knobs...
Update... the steering cover goo is black. Came off well with simple green motorsports. Will plasti dip
Just try wd40 contact cleaner direct on the button the button starts working fine
Big 👍 I just put thinners on my birds face and scraped it off then gave her one coat of plasti dip and she looks like Beyoncé ... well her grand dad actually
It has little to do with hot climates, the material is unstable. The stuff degenerates on objects even kept in cool cupboards.
Very repetitive but interesting
How long can you talk about doing the repair without it doing it !! 5min In a still going on
It's so disappointing to see this level of poor design. I expect more from Porsche Lamborghini and Ferrari!
You preamble goes on for over half the video. Just get to the point.
You need a better mike - you are very hard to hear. Unfortunate because I am sure that the information which you were providing was very useful.
Napisan works better
How many fucking times do you have to say you have sticky items.
Under engineered rubbish..
