ArmorAll is a trap! They put our car's dash on their products to deceive us!
Hmm I think my blemishes went away after using Megs APC, but maybe I'm wrong. Just thinking they are gone because they bugged me a ton when I noticed them, they came from meguair's quick interior detailer I got at wal-mart...

Well your picture isn't too revealing, but I believe so. Mine may have just been left on product or something, not sure.

Any more pics? Can't really see anything in the ones earlier. Do you have any ideas on the source of these stains? Weird!!

I'll try to take some later on.

Interior Detailer I used is very popular with in professional detailers and is praised every day. But this problem occurred after I used that specific product.

Could be just coincidence.

Needless to say I am back to Meguiar's Quick Interior Detailer.

Edited: Since I mentioned it above anyways.

I'll try and take more pictures later on, in class atm. I got in the car again today and noticed that the blemishes might have gone away a LITTLE, or maybe just my paranoid mind trying to pretend it is.

If anything, i'll try and agitate it again with a brush and some 303 to see if I can get it out.

Thanks

So it's been a while and I've tried a lot of things. I really don't want to think it's a permanent issue with the dash. Are there any professionals that can take care of this issue? I don't mind paying, just want to get it out of my sight. :<

Hmmm, interesting. I think I may have experienced something similar. Grease-like spots appeared last summer. I was using 1Z Cockpit Premium on a regular basis. I applied M39 Vinyl Cleaner three or four times over the course of a week or two, and the spots finally disappeared. They did not disappear all at once. I still use the 1Z as my regular cleaner/duster, and the spots have not re-appeared. I have no idea what might have caused them.

Haha oh yeah, on note of my last post, the megs APC might of added the splotches .
I dunno it doesn't seem to work so dandy on things you want visually appealing. I used it to clean 7 years of dirt build off of my seats 3 nights ago, and it seemed to leave a strangely off color strip of leather on the seat. However, it got off dirt lexol cleaner would have never have touched, at 1/30 the price.
