    How do you go about cleaning the radio buttons on the steering wheel? Now that it is getting colder out I've noticed that some of my buttons are sticky. Is there anything I can do short of disassembling them? Also how do you take them apart it feels like they should pop right off but I'm a chicken and I don't want to break anything.

    Try spraying with isopropyl alcohol. It will not hurt electronics and dries without residue.

    I usually use as high as alcohol content I can find. Walgreens, CVS, Walmart. I just transfer the whole bottle to a spray bottle. I use it for everything, works really well to clean keyboards and monitors also! Wipe down with microfiber.
