How to get rid of this?
303 Cleaner or Protectant or other cleaning products? I have been using NXT's cockpit shine, but the spottings come back after a while. Originally I posted this in the general forum because I thought it wasn't anything I did and need to go to the dealer for it. After my post, people said that it's probably from me and I need a cleaner. That is why I am posting it again in here.

It almost looks like the area has been bleached! Im not sure what that is. Can you elaborate on how it got like that? Did you use a cleaner on there before?

I have no idea how it got there. I didn't think it was from me. I thought it was like a defected factory part, that is why I didn't post it here originally. If they were from my hands, I have no idea what was on my hand. My hands couldn't have been that dirty.

my acura dealer offered to replace the entire dash of my rsx-s when i had it...there was a small whitening area ~2 inches across on part of it and they didn't even question how it got there (it got worse over time and i never touched the spot). might be worth asking them about it.

I have a 2006 TSX Loaner car. I have had it for 4 days now and noticed it has spots on the door panel identical to yours, and they are in the exact same location. I looked at the date on the registration in the car and it was put into use 5/29/2006, so the car is just over 2 months old. Maybe both your car and this one were built around the same time and have a similar defect.

Did you even try the cleaner? Or are you still wiping protectant on it...Just grab some soap and water and a scrub brush. If it dosent come off, then have the dealer replace.

I have that too, on my '04, but I believe it's my fingerprints from when I push the door open to get out. I've been trying to retrain myself to use the door handle instead.

i have an 2005 tsx and i get those white spots too. however, i seem to be able to wipe them off. i believe they're coming from me leaning my elbow on the side of the door as i drive. so now i try to keep my elbow off and they seem to appear less.

It could be the persperation from your hands (as it looks like a 'hand / finger' indentation) Persperation is acidic and wll leave a 'bleach' mark if its not neutralized by using an Alkaline (baking soda)
