Are you guys sure its being "cleaned off" or just being covered up and then once thats wiped off by your hands it shows up again.

P.S. I havent noticed this yet...

There is an ace interior-fix guy in Phoenix. He says don't use Arm-a-rohl (however spelled) cleaning or even leather wipes on an interior--because he is unsure of the quality of these products. He says he is very sure of the quality of Meguair's products and to use Meguair's leather wipes on both interior vinyl and leather. He does not sell products, but he is a mega expert on maintaining and repairing interiors of all sorts. I believe he said that using "bad" products will dry and stiffen the materials over time--and that they can't be returned to their original states. Maybe a result is the white stuff, but I can't really say for sure.

He is right, Armorall(once again, however you spell it) is a silicon based product which works great initially, but over time worsens the condition of your interior.
