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)

Lacquer thinner will be the best, but as others said try a small spot first. I think the problem you're going to have is the chemicals are going to destroy the outer coating the vinyl has that makes the sheen, and acts as the UV protectant.
Many years ago, I cleaned a set of FILTHY tan seats ( 914 ) with Purple Stuff and a soft plastic bristle brush and ended up removing that coating. The seats ended up very dull, and over a couple years time started to crack apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
