Have you tried a high quality vinyl cleaner like Vinylex (sp?). It's from the people who make Lexol. It's really good stuff. That would be my first move.

Good luck!

its probably where the water actually cleaned the leather....and left clean spots. i've done it a couple of times. get tuff/good stuff from autozone, its a all purpose cleaner , it cleans the armrest and seats nicely..and then you will have a clean armrest again.

Lexol or any type of leather cleaner will work.

pretty certain that the center console is leather at least on the top, the sides might be vinyl.

any cleaner should do the trick, it's not like rain is a bleach or an acid chemical that would ruin your interior. A good cleaner should do the trick. I never leave my roof open, I'm afraid that a bird might leave me a gift.

just try using a mild soap and water, and clean it with a rag first before you go out and buy something
