Arm rest faded after using Optimum Protectant...

So I used Optimum Protectant for the first time on my whole interior and I loved the way everything turned out, except my arm rest. Looks to be faded or slightly discolored now.

Anyone ever see anything like this before?








Here are a couple Interior shots that show how well the door panel and dash turned out.







I have not done anything yet on the arm rest, but I'm thinking to try wiping down with water and a clean MF first. Then try going back over with Optimum Protectant and see if that helps at all. I also have 1Z Leather care which I may give a try next (after re-wiping with water).

Any suggestions?

Your going to need to clean it real well first. Try a really warm water soaked MF (wrung out) first! Lay it on there for several minutes and the heat will loosen the grime up. Then wipe off with another warm water moistened MF. Should clean it up in short order, safely also.....
Everything else looks excellent!!

Thanks for the comments/replying...

When I get a chance I will thoroughly wipe down with warm water and re-apply and see what I get.
