Hi. So I was cleaning my interior glass yesterday using newspaper and Invisible Glass and after I finished I noticed dark ink-like lines on both the dash and door panels. I attempted to remove it with a clean cloth and then with interior detailer and had little luck. How can this even happen?

Thanks in advance!

A decade or two back they started using ink that transfers. What you have is ink tranfer. Try wiping using a mostly wringed-out soapy wash mit followed with a dry towel and let me know what happens

No luck on the soapy wash mit so I went ahead and try every method I could think of starting with the least likely to damage. After even the magic eraser failed, I tried using 0000 steel wool using very light pressure but all that did was 'smudge' the individual marks making them appear worse than they were. Being as picky and ocd as I am I'll probably be looking for a replacement dash pad at the u pull it yard. This really sucks and I couldn't find anyone that had heard of this happening before. From now on microfiber will be my wiping tool of choice.

The same as what?

Newsprint on your hands/clothes is still transferrable-newsprint...Ask any Pro!

Go down to the Dollar Tree and buy a bottle of Totally Awesome.
Add 4oz to a spray bottle then add water.
Spray it on a MF towel and gently work it in, it will remove the ink.
It's an Awesome product, it will remove just about anything you want removed, then follow up with a towel using only water to rinse it off well.

That's in, GONE?
All for $1.00:)
