Did mine a few years ago, used nail varnish remover and wd40 came off quite quickly with a range of cloths. The centre console comes up in a lovely piano gloss black unfortunately the handbrake console is a different plastic and does not buff up so nicely more of a matte finish; still better than the sticky crap it was coated with.

Finally got round to tackling the centre console this weekend. Went through 3 cloths and a half bottle of meths and lots of choice words. Also fitted new DAB radio and antenna along with repairing a broken FM antenna which had been bugging me. Overall quite happy with the finish which I kept to a simple black gloss finish. Handbrake console next Nice one Ash What sort of DAB antenna did you use and how did you install it? I recently changed the position of mine from horizontal (passenger side top of screen) to vertical (fixed to A pillar) as I read the signal is received better that way...

It was an amplified unit I got from ebay link I mounted it horizontal high up on the drivers side so the sun visor hides it most of the time. Not had any signal issues, in fact the signal pick up is stronger than the factory fitted unit in my Superb.
