hey guys,

i noticed that my friend's car's start button is pretty worn out. you can hardly even read the letters on it! i'd like to keep mine in good shape. any tips on how to prevent this?

 

Buy a new one when it's worn out. It's only $45 or so.

Either that or clear nail polish over the lettering?

 

I can't imagine how someone wears the lettering off of the start button.
Mine looks brand new.

They're pretty cheap. Some have even swapped out to the GT-R buttons.

 

is your friend one of those who holds it down to start the car? He probably does that and moves his finger down while holding it.. dont do that and you should be good.. Ive had my car since 07 and my start button looks brand new

 

x2. What are they playing with an Xbox joystick here? Or keeping their finger on the button? I have an 07 and it looks brand new

 

Mine has not a single flaw after 3 years of use. He must have had some type of chemical on his hand or something. Thats not normal.

 

4 years here and button still looks new.

 

^ ditto!

 

dont push it with your nail?

 

Just replace it when the button wears down... they are not that expensive....

but if you want to just be careful, when you push the button make sure you only push it with the center of your finger, and avoid using your nail.

 

Weird

 

Is your friends car a G? Sorry, I had to ask.
Mine looks brand new. It shouldn't wear out.

 

yea. I was thinking about this thread earlier when I started my car. I just hold down the break pedal, push the button with my index finger for one second and let go. my G is 2008 and the button still looks new. OP, your friend must be punching the button while wearing a ring or something.

 

hmmmm... weird. mine looks brand new on my 07

 

i dont use my finger hehehehe
