I love that new car smell and the smell of leather.

I picked up the Lexol in the orange bottle at Advance Auto Parts. Used it and it worked fine. I too, think that the white appearance is the materials drying out and gases coming off of the plastics. It is just strange that it does this in my Vette. Never had problems in my 94 Z28 that I still own.... don't have problems in my 2007 Tahoe.....actually, never had this problem in any vehicle I have owned. I guess it could be worse, but it is just a strange problem. Thanks for all the input!!

It came off, but I fully expect it to come back - I have noticed it before where I touch the door with my hands.......

Was this resolved? I'm having the same issue and was wondering how to prevent the haze from forming where my hands or arms touch the door.

Thanks in advance...

I also get this something similar on my dash. If you run your finger over it, it doesn't seem to come off.

One day, I was using a small California duster on the interior of my car. And, I happened to run it over the dash.

Surprisingly, it took it off. Hardly any effort.
Not expected, but, I'm not complaining.

Give it a try.

Same here. Look like white smudges all over.

Hmmm I don't have the white haze on my leather/vinyl but noticed a foggy haze all over my windshield, gauge cluster window, radio screen. (thats what I thought the thread was about)
Cleaned, and came back

Not as bad but reminded me of when a heater core lets out...


As far as protecting the leather & vinyl, heard nothing but good feedback about 303 too.

I have 303 and have used it and it doesn't work it makes those white marks/streaks. Works fine in other cars or especially for tires.
