I have a 2006 Maxima SL. Noticed a (?) mark on the padded part of the dash
behind the display. Made the mistake in trying to clean it, first with WD40,
the with alcohol. I don't know if these padded dashboards are solid black
through and through, but it looks like I may have taken the COLOR off and
now there is a noticeable lightening/whitish spot there!!! Armor all helps a
little.
Any suggestions as to a repair other than replacing the whole thing???
Paint?
I am not a happy individual with this.
Thanks!
If a vinyl dashboard, the alcohol may cause the color fading. Try using
a liquid dye such as those used for leather coloring. Test in an
inconspicuous area.

I appreciate the response. Doing some on line research, there are a few
companies that make a vinyl coating specifically for auto interiors. Should
do the trick. I may take it to my dealer to see if they have an outside guy
who specializes in this type of thing. I don't want to mess it up...the dash
part is $$$ to replace.
Thanks again...
