My wife is a nurse and is obsessed with hand sanitizer. She has a small tube in her car that she uses often, and I believe the residue on her hands is beginning to discolor the plastic/leather in her Ford Edge. I don't know the specific properties of hand sanitizer and it's affect on car interiors, but i know it has alcohol and is meant to kill germs, so is a likely suspect in what may be happening. My question is how do I get rid of this discoloration?
I've used interior detailer and leather cleaner with zero success. It doesn't even help a little. My biggest concern is that the damage may be permanent, but if there is any hope I'd love everyones opinion on what products/techniques might stand a fighting chance at fixing this.
