Hello All, thanks in advance for the help. I'm struggling with a dash issue in my 2012 Sequoia. The Toyota dash is a painted plastic rather than molded with color all the way through. It's a hard textured plastic with a matte gray finish.
When I first got the vehicle I had a problem with two grease stains above the instrument cluster. Because they were in an area that I couldn't see while driving, they were left sit too long and my only option for repair was to have the dash repainted and blended in that spot.
Before the repaint, I had tried tons of ways to cover them, including a product from a local detail supply shop that left a shiny residue all over the dash.
So my issue is that half of my dash is perfect from the re-spray but the center and passenger sides have a shiny residue in the tiny crevices of the textures. I've tried everything I can think of... CG Innerclean, Diluted CG All Clean, on microfiber. Even diluted dish detergent in warm water.
My question would be, is there something else that I haven't thought of to remove this stuff or would there be a product with very little shine that I could cover and make the dash consistent. I HATE a shiny dash. The stuff that's on there now looks good right after a wipe down but a few days later it's back and depending on the sun it's worse than others.
Hope my explanation is okay, tough to figure out how to describe this... Thanks very much!
