Detailing product stain on interior door panel

[CadillaChick]

As the title says it appears the detailer at the Cadillac dealer used some sort of product on my interior door panel that has maybe allowed the sun to bleach a stain on the upper door panel material??

This is one of the last OCD nitpicks I have with my V.

I have used every product I have on it other than 2 different upholstery cleaners for carpet and fabric but the stain is still faintly visible.

 

Any Idea's on what else to try?

I have been cleaning the entire section in order to keep a uniform surface but you can see the uneven finish on the leatherette

Adams leather cleaner and a cockpit brush is what I would try . Followed by the conditioner.

If everything you have tried has not cleared up the stain / defect, then it may be possible that it is indeed "discolored" or "bleached" dye on the trim panel, and should be covered by the warranty on the vehicle.

Hopefully I get some other recommendations after fighting to get my wheel replaced  I would rather just buy another door panel and not have a dealer involved so that they don't screw something else up..

 

Right now my only fear is how aggressive should I try and treat the stain without much experience with something like this.

I wouldn't go too crazy just some cleaner and a brush . If that don't do it it's done for imo

Amy, it would be a lot easier getting them to replace a trim panel than a wheel....................... speaking from experience.................... you would be astounded by the pricing on a trim panel if you were to purchase it, a lot more money than a wheel..............................

 

I feel for you, just going through the same thing here with my Corvette, really tiring getting the run around from the dealer.................

Have you guys ever heard of using a Dab of toothpaste with a soft brush to clean stained vinyl?

I am also seeing gently dabbing Isopropyl Alcohol with claims that it can sometimes help release a stain on vinyl.

Along with Mr. Clean magic erasers which the idea of it scares me. lol

 

I guess I will be the Guinea pig on some of these so that it may help some one in the future.

I have heard of both Isoporpyl Alcohol applied onto a soft cotton ball and then "dabbed" onto the stained area, and also know an individual who has utilized "toothpaste with a soft brush" on a medium shade of blue, door trim panel on an older Firebird.

 

Personally, myself, I have used Isoporply Alcohol on a few different things with good results on the majority of them, but not all.
