factory blemishes

Hi guys,
It's me again that loca from South Fla. I had a quick question about blemishes. My car came from the dealership with a couple of blemishes in the vinyl. The vinyl is a dark grey almost black color and I notice two spots where it has a considerably lighter light grey almost off white color. Fortunately the spots are small, but it seems my eyes always go right there and they bother me so much. I have tried cleaning them with soap and water. I have applying a protectant and buffing them out and they won't budge. Since I am only a novice and you guys are in the industry I thought maybe you have some tips or advice on something, if anything, I can do to get them out? Thanks again.
Have a great day!

pics of the spots?

Do I have any pics of the spots you mean? You know. I am a technological retard and I have no idea how to put pictures on the computer. I barely can figure out how to even post anything on this forum! The spots are the same grain as the vinly it is just like a discoloration more than anything. I thought maybe the protectant I used my solve it since it had some cleaning ability and it also darkened the color of the vinyl slightly but it didn't affect it at all.

if you visit an upholstery shop they can usually dye the spot(s). Other than that, you got it down to using a protectant to make it less noticable.
