I am embarrassed to admit that during the months I was prepping my car for paint, apparently a light mist of overspray made it onto the dash. Although it isn't a perfect dash, I really don't feel like changing it out.
When I clean it with leather cleaner it comes out looking pretty nice. But, then when it dries, the white comes back. Suggestions as to how I can clean it? Attached thumbnail(s)
