The ring around the top center of the knob is chipping away and leaving tiny metal pieces in the palm of my hand. I shift gently but it makes no difference. Considering some clear nail polish,but not sure if that will degrade the soft plastic/hard rubber knob material. The car is a 2011/12 Mercedes C180. It may seem minor, but the little pieces get stuck in my skin. Thanks for any advice.

Probably going to go that route. In the meantime, considering a repair until I find something I like. Thanks.
scalpel, thin model masking tape, scrape the old coating off or at least rough up what is still adhered and paint it with something thick to hide the surface imperfections. I use the fiberglass scrapers from the tops of touch up paint sticks for fine prep like this. I did something similar for a long in the tooth Boxster project for a friend. I used rattle can truck bed liner and it came out surprisingly well and has held up.
OK. That sounds like a plan. Thanks.
Dry condom? not ribbed, unless...
Would need a Kevlar condom.
Upgrade to the all aluminum finish knob on the sedans,
