So I never thought that center console plastic panel is colored with "crayola crayons".

Some of us (including me) , due to the recent era of living in COVID, have a habit of keeping Hand Sanitizer Gel in the car for occasional hand cleaning.

It happened recently that I cleaned my hands and a couple of droplets of the gel landed onto the center console cover.

When I wiped it off with the tissue, not with excessive force, it simply did cut the paint of the console and black plastic underneath was exposed.

I was kinda amazed at the build quality , or perhaps it is expected from the chemical composition of the gel itself.

Either ways, is there a suggested remedy for it , i know I have to accept to live with it, however :

1. Is there a cover mat available for center consoles like this (much like dashboard cover mats)
2. For an eventual possibility, can I know the part number of this cover for possible replacement now or in the future.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Well alcohol is abrasive. There are vinyl kits for under $50 that'll cover that spot and the rest of the center console.

Did you find a solution to this? Mine did the same thing and on the steering wheel.
