quick update....

we have keyed the rubber coating, applied 3 coats of plastic primer and rubbed that down.

Added base coat and clear coat and some of it reacted!!

So we are stripping it back again..

Its funny cos my old one was fine like that!!

Are you going to strip it all the way back to the bare plastic?

If so, what would you recommend using?

Oven cleaner didn't work for me (Mr Muscle), left the stuff on all night and it has not made it any easier. Brillo pads next.
