The white stuff, I think is "skin". If you rub your hand, arm or whatever on it, it leaves the skin residue. I simple damp cloth will take it off.

I have this same issue on my 2008 Vette and my 2009 Toyota Highlander....both are cured by a wipe with a damp cloth....this is caused by the outgassing of the vinyl...

Question White stuff on dash
I have the same stuff on my door panels. Will this work on them as well? Seems like it should since it is the same materal.

Can you use a protectant on these surfaces such as Aerospace 303?
