Question About Removing Sticky Palm Rest Coating – Dell XPS 15 7590
Hello,
I own a Dell XPS 15 7590 and the soft-touch coating on the palm rest has become sticky over time.
I would like to ask:
Is it safe to remove the degraded soft-touch layer using 99.9% isopropyl alcohol, by gently scrubbing the surface?
Will this pose any health or material safety risk (e.g. fiber exposure or damage to the underlying carbon fiber composite)?
Thank you in advance for your clarification.

There's no way to know -- if you're worried about it, a palmrest replacement is inexpensive.
