Default Peeling Buttons

Hello, my headlight **** is almost all peeled off and alot of my stereo buttons are all starting to peel. Is there a fix to this? Can you order a new console face (its not just the buttons)? Where and how much do they usually run?
Thanks.
Also, the leather on my steering wheel is becoming pretty awful, however I doubt new wheels are very cheep.

What do you mean by peeled off? The labels are rubbing off?

he means that the coating thats applied on the buttons is peeling off. this is happening in my friends parents a4, poor thing

ive heard of people buying new stereos through the dealer bc of this, and that also goes for center consoles and also the headlight control button

Default Solution for Peeling buttons

I own an interior reconditioning Manufacturing company. We manufacture the graphics needed to repair stereos, AC units and door consoles The cost is low to repair and it is permanent. We are selling to over 80 technicians who do these repairs daily for dealers. We are just now introducing these repair graphics to the public on our ebay store for those who would like to do it themselves.
As part of the listing for each set of graphics we have a link to a youtube video showing how to do the process. Check out our ebay store here: http://stores.ebay.com/IW-GRAPHICS

I just watched the how-to video, and would LOVE to see a video of how to use that to repair an Audi Stereo. That might work for GM, or other manufacturers, but I don't see that working on Audi's.

Default Stereo makes no difference

These repairs are done on any button, doesn't matter what size , shape, brand etc and the repair is done exactly as shown in video. If buttons are flatter as in some Audis the graphic does not wrap around as far. We currently manufacture graphics for 3 different audi stereos and we sell these graphics to technitians every month.

So how does this work when the stereo face itself (not just the button) is peeling?

Also, what kind of texture do the graphics have?

Default Peeling Stereo Face

In most cases the face does not peel. It does happen on some stereos and ac units of course. Cadillac CTS is one example and a few of the Audi AC units have the problem from time to time. Vendors that do interior repair for dealers can refinish this but it is beyond the scope of what we sell to the public.
