Went to clean a small light dirt spot on the top of the dash with a very soft towel and a quick spray of windex on the towel, after lightly wiping the spot turned into a scuff and got worse, I thought it might be the fibers/fuzz from the towel as the dash is kind of rubbery type, but a felt lint brush removed nothing and the spot remains. The only thing that made it better was some interior detail spray which has a light gloss to it and I prefer the factory matte finish and I know once the spray wears off the spot will be back. Seems like a redye with an airbrush is the only real solution unless others here have something clever.

I then tried to remove some white sneaker marks from the lower door pull out pockets and they would not come out either, I even accidently rubbed my knuckle over the plastic and that left a scuff mark of skin and that now wont come out...WTF kind of plastic/dying process is Lexus using and how can the scuff be cleaned without making it worse??? I tried a very small spot on the kick panel with a very well moistened piece of magic eraser which did nothing and I hated to even try it and will not again.

Our car is a '10 with black interior and about 6000 miles

Thanks

 

pictures please.

 

maybe its a defect in which case it would be under warrenty, no?

 

i have the same ****ing problem. whenever I clean my dash fibers from the towels ALWAYS stay behind, still havent figured out the best way to clean it

 

I dont think its a defect, my 07 does the same ****. unless mine is defected too .. dammit

 

Sorry to hear, especially when you're trying to keep clean!

 

It's not a defect, it's just how it is, all the isx50 do the same, only way is to put on vinyl protectant every 3 weeks

 

Using microfiber?

 

yea and still leaves the fibers on the dash

 

I use meguiars on all of my stuff and I have NEVER had this problem...I use an old t-shirt when I clean my dash and my dash is clean as a whistle and stays shiny all the time.

 

Its covered now with detail spray; I'd have to remove the detail spray to show the marks which I wont do right now. The other marks are typical shoe scuff marks on the lower door pockets...they should carpet these things like in the old days!

 

What's really amazing is the skin from my kuckle left a mark...WTF kind of plastic material/finish is Lexus using...our other cars do not have this?

 

We hate a shinny finish and prefer the matte finish that comes from the factory...

 

We..who is we? You and your wife?

 

i have a '10 with black interior and i use an old black cotton t-shirt, leaves nothing behind and what it does you don't notice. i don't like the wet look and always just dust the dash with it, i use no sprays at all.
