Where in Florida are you? If you still have a warranty left I'd take it to your local Lexus dealer.

How long has your car been out of warranty? Another member on here was out of warranty not sure how long, but they discounted his new dash plus install. I think he called corporate and ended up paying like $200.00 for his new dash. You can always give that a shot. Worse thing they can say is no.

Yup in some areas of the door panel are very tacky, I could easily remove little pieces off with my finger nails just by accident if I'm not careful. Its definitely a defect cause all my panels are doing this even the back ones where nobody ever sits.

Yes I think so and maybe if everybody complains we could get them to repair this like they should be doing already.

I had my 06 in FL until recently but always had it in a garage at home and work. My interior is still almost perfect. Do you park in the sun a lot?

Use 303 Aerospace Protectant (UV protectant). I've used it for few years w/o any problem. It is highly recommended by the guys at autopia.org (professional detailer forum).

It produces OEM look not wet look. And most importantly, it protects your interior from UV. Very satisfied with this.
