A/C control *****
the control ***** for temp and fan speed on my 997 are starting to peel, particularly the fan speed for some reason (which is odd, I almost never use that control). see attached pic.
My OCD won't allow this to stand! so what are my options? Is there a source for replacement switches? If so, what's the part #? Is it a DIY project or do I have to send it out? etc etc.
thanks in advance!

My 2010 has, what feels like and appears to be, a smooth painted top coat on the buttons, which is why I asked about the 997.1 buttons. Hopefully, Porsche switched to a coating that won't flake or peel off the 997.2 buttons.

Yes, it is the hand lotions, etc.
If you ever look at a car that a woman has been driving for awhile, all of the control buttons, switches are flaking off.

It's not the lotion it is a poor design from Porsche one surface is non compliant with the surface. The engineers tried to achieve a good feel but fell short and forgot about about basic adhesion principals.
