Appears similar to the film that some have on the trunk button that opens the boot. Some say rubbing alcohol cleans it, but I used a Plastic polish to clean my button. Perhaps it would also work on the key. Maybe an abrasive toothpaste would also work.

Rubbing alcohol indeed cleans up the trunk button (at least temporarily). I would try it on your key as well....

I saw someone else replied has the same substance over the growler. Is this normal?

I think it is just the plastic itself deteriorating with age. I solved the problem on my keys by buying replacement emblems on ebay.

Does anyone have a picture of what that part of the key is supposed to look like new?
