Default Quick Detailing/Cleaning Advice

Hi,cannot find any information,maybe someone has some suggestions?

I cannot get the Ebony Door Panels on my 2012 GS "Clean"I have used a couple different dressings(Turtle Wax ICE interior) They look great until dry,then a white residue/streaking starts showing.

I tried a couple coats,keep getting the white residue/streaking once dry

Any ideas or thoughts are greatly appreciated

You shouldn't be using anything on the interior except for distilled water. If you "must" use something, I would suggest Adam's VRT. From your description, though, it sounds like the damage to the door panels has already been done, and there isn't any way to reverse it. The VRT will hide it for you at least.

Use just clean water to wipe it down. that will take care of teh white residue. It is a common issue with many C6 owners.

Agree with all here & owners manual: water. The surfaces already have a type clear-coat so you're really just cleaning that.
