Weird white smudge spot on Interior?

[101pctech]

Hello: Does anyone know how to remove this white smudge? I tried water and P&S Xpress Interior cleaner and no go I think it made it worse by using a microfiber towel. It's like the white particles are ingrain into the plastic.

Thanks!

Try leather conditioner.

I've had good luck with Optimum Power Clean at 3:1 on my vehicles. Agitated with a soft bristle brush....

Hence the recommendation to use a brush along with an APC. With grained surfaces you often need to work the cleaning product down in to the grain. I like 303 Multi-surface Cleaner for interior cleaning but there are many fine APC's available at AG.

Thank you!! I will give that a try.

Here's your picture, kind of hard to see the white spot?

What I would do is after "cleaning" with a dedicated cleaner is I would apply a dressing. Cleaners do tend to matte-down and dull vinyl surfaces, not all but I would say most. It's the CLEANER. It is supposed to be followed with "something" else to create beauty, provide protection, make future cleaning easier and faster and - create a UNIFORM appearance.

I agree.. That’s why I suggested leather conditioner. It’s solved this type of issue for me on those rare occasions when something like this happens.
