Default sun screen stains

I have a 2017 ZO6 1LZ black interior. I got in the car the other day and did not remember i had applied sun screen on my arms. I have white stains on the door and center arm rest. I tried Meguire's interior cleaner with no luck. Any advise would help
Thanks.

Try an APC. The oils from the lotion will have been absorbed and you may just need time for them to leach out.

All Purpose Cleaner. If in fact the oils have leached in do a mildly solution every 3-4 days. Do not add protection over the top as you don't want any "film". Once you see the area gone give a nice clean again and top with some 303

I've tried soap & warm water in a terrycloth towel, and I've tried GM Glass Cleaner (white foamy stuff in spray can) in terrycloth.
Both of them will remove most of the white "stains", but not all.
Does anyone have other suggestions beside APC? I have no experience with APC and I'm hesitant to try something "new" in our car.

Googling APC, there seem to be several brands.
Which one(s) have you used?

Too many to list to be honest. OTC I like Super Clean. But I think my favorite is Optimum Power Clean. Diluted down( I use distilled water) and still works well.
