Hey guys... I've noticed that no matter how I seem to clean the passenger side of my centre console (the bit sitting next to their left knee), once it's dry it feels sticky to the touch

Has anyone had this happen in their car and, if so, what solution did you come up with?

Thanks...

bro what do you do in your car

What do you use to clean it? I have always used aerospace 303
Once it dries, does it have a different finish to it as opposed to the driver side?

Aerospace 303 is not a cleaner, it's a protectant.

If you have something very stubborn, try using a tiny bit of dish soap on a damp paper towel (warm water). That should cut through it.

It'll still clean even if you use the protectant lol. They do maybe a bunch of other 303 products.

But if it's truly sticky even after cleaning, get a good brush and dawn soap. But there's a different type of sticky that i saw before. It's like the coating is coming off which in turn makes it sticky. Don't use a brush on these.
