Default Sticky console plastic fix ?

I hear it's fairly common, but has anyone found a quick (preferably spray and wipe) fix to remove the sticky from the hard black plastic around the shifter and radio....

Thanks.

Definitely no quick way. However, if you carefully remove them, use non acetone nail polish remover to strip the dulso finish, and media blast the bezels you will reach your desired effect.

I didn't have access to a media blaster, so I stripped with non acentone nail polish remover, and then used Stacey David's interior spray process. Came out great.

I can't vouch for the Corvettes sticky finish but on other brands spray oven cleaner works.
