Has anyone tried a steamer like you would use for wrinkles on a dress shirt?

It's worth a shot. I don't see how steam will cause it to get worse. The steam might not be hot enough like a heat gun to blend the chemical residue.

It would be nice to know what cleaner cause the damage so others can avoid it.
What product did you use?

it was a armor all wipe 🫠 i'm thinking the problem was the sun beat it into the finish cause it wasn't dried. i did use a magic eraser and got it off im not sure if it worse or what but it's gone and that's all i cared about lol

Kind of after the fact. But never use Armor All products.

Ford Bronco chemical marks (from interior cleaner) on dashboard 2021 OBX Dash Stains


I have had stains for a couple of years. The argent color plastic dash is very susceptible to stains. I have no idea what caused these discolorations, but it may have been hand sanitizer, sunscreen, or similar things. I have teen boys riding to/from school daily so it could be anything. Definitely was not car care products in my case, which coincidentally I have used Adams and Griots to try to remedy, and neither worked. If it gets worse or bothers me more, I will probably do some kind of overlay.

Airbags push through there, right? Overlay might not be okay. I bet it could easily be (re)painted though.

The overlay from StickerFab specifically has a cutout/perforation to accomodate airbag deployment. But that is a good point since other brands may not be thinking about that.
