Interior Fading/Discoloring

[chrisecklund]

Anyone else having some fading or discoloring on their arm rests?

I have a 2020 with Dune interior and noticed that the arm rest on the driver and passenger (rear does not seem impacted) seems to be discolored from the rest of the door panel.

The image is the front drivers door and the color is just off to me when you compare it to the seat color and specifically the rest of the door panel.

I have noticed that if it gets wet, the plastic and the "leather," the water leaves stains. I have treated the surfaces with Armoral, which helps make it look clean again, but it just happens then next time the door gets wet.

I have a brand new ‘21 Telluride and my wife’s hand cream bleached out the black seat and door. I will be talking to my dealership about this. The car wash was able to cover the damage somewhat but still visible.

Yikes. Let us know how that turned out. Good tip for the rest of us. I'll tell my wife. "HONEY!"

Yikes! What kind of hand cream was this? Just regular lotion? or some kind of dermatology dark-spot remover/anti-aging stuff? Now I'm worried!

What type of cleaning product are you using when you clean the interior? Also how often to you clean the interior?

Have you tried cleaning it? Also not a dealership problem since you did it and not a manufacturer defect or problem.

What did the car wash do?

I just got the car March 1 so haven't had to clean the interior, minus some wipedowns with a microfiber. Any recommendations on interior cleaner? I have historically used Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner.

I have a Palisade so take it for what it's worth. But I had the same problem with sunblock on our armrest (white streaks).
Some dish detergent (watered down well) and armor all when done took care of the problem.
