Lately I have noticed when it gets cold outside that the dash in front of the passenger side airbag, seems to look “splotchy” (for lack of a better word).

The truck is a little over two months old and in perfect condition. I used Armor All once and will never use it again, Maguires from here on out.

I know this isn’t the best picture, but I was wondering anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

 

It looks like finger prints. This is a guess but maybe the oil on peoples hand mixed with the Armor All and made it look like that. Try some all purpose cleaner and a paper towel should not hurt anything.

 

Your photo may deplict fingerprint oils or smudges that have etched or bonded to the new (or when new) coating and temperature change may make it more apparent.
Have you tried to clean the surface with a quality PH neutral plastic cleaner and re-protect the surface evenly with a good protectant?

 

I agree. Clean it and then reapply a protectant evenly on the area.

 

Thanks, that picture isn't the greatest. It's just weird, ill give it a shot at cleaning, then reapplying.

We'll see what happens.

 

clean the dash with a good upholstry cleaner...something like Blue coral, etc. I have used Prime shine from Pro products for 15+ years....comes in both solvent and laytex formulas....excellent!!!! most body shops on the west coast use it!

 

A little late to the party, but would Folex carpet cleaner be OK to clean interior plastics with? I have a huge jug of it at home. The surfaces that are always touched like the top of the door panel are hard to get all the dirt off of.

 

Some APC and a small brush with stiff bristles work magic on the ingrained dirt.

 

I use APC+ with a toothbrush and it works great to get grime out of textured plastic.

 

Another vote for an interior cleaner and a gentle brush to get the panel back to square one. Then dress the panel with a quality conditioner... something that doesn't contain silicone like armourall.

 

yup I would again have to agree here.
