Yep, everyone gets it. Soap and water takes it off but it will come back.

Almost everyone has it. Should wipe off with just a damp cloth but might need a mild cleaner one time or occasionally.

Default it is called outgassing

I use Aerospace 303 for it, but soap and water will work too...

Search for outgassing and you may find more about what it actually is.

A damp cloth about every six months does it for our 2006 and now 2009.

Turtle Wax ICE Interior Cleaner works wonders on the white crud. Also makes the leather seats look new.

That is polymer migration... a breakdown of the plastics used. It should easily clean off.

303 is amazing.

My dash, door panels, seats, console, and anything that's plastic, vinyl, leather, rubber will be a nice satin black. 303 IMO has never faded. It stays black. I use it on the underside of the rear hatch area, and on the rear fascia and it stays black. Makes the engine bay look sweet too.









I even us 303 detailer on the paint. Excellent shine.
