So Who can tell me what happened here? Pictures ... its pretty bad.

That type of discoloration happens quite often when you put a steamer to the dashboard of Hondas and Toyotas... Cheap materials they use and it's no surprise. A couple of applications of leather conditioner brings them back from the state of shock. It's happened to me a bunch of times, only on those 2 makes though.

Ya that was actually with a cleaner.. like almost instant.

However I did manage to stripe leather seats a bit with the steamer the other day... I was using the horse hair brush attachment with the 3 hole extension. Wasn't a good idea apparently. I had to wrap a towel around it to go back over it to remove them. I had the pressure turned way way down and was moving pretty dang fast too.

I notice Super Degreaser does that with the plastic/rubber inside of wheel wells and I'm over it... I think D101 also does it to a lesser extent. Hyper Dressing makes it all better but it still bugs me that a cleaner makes plastic/rubber look so bad. Btw Mckee's APC does the same thing [before someone recommends it. I have it]

I've been meaning to coat the wheel wells on the Kia and then switch to a strong dilution of D114 to maintain them instead. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't be strong enough... Because I'm not the type who likes to scrub wheel wells.
 
These are the after pics of a Honda I detailed... The whole dash had turned milky gray about an hour before I took these shots thanks to the steamer. Megs D180 Leather Cleaner & Conditioner brought it back to normL.

well that turned out really good! I wonder how long it will last. I wonder if it's just a temporary thing or if the hyper dressing or the leather conditioner is absorbing into the plastic and actually making it better.

Thanks. IME it doesn't come back.
 
I can't say it's certainly not from super degreaser but APC can't do that. As far as I can see it's probably the stain you removed. Such like a bird droppings etching into the paint. When it comes to solution, don't dye it. It's the best thing I can recommend. Removing plastic trim paint could be hard and mostly they leave faded surface. You can use black trim restoring product diluted. Test your dilution on somewhere hidden. Even if you can't get the color match, you might blend it in. Also you can apply to every door panel and remove if you need.
