Hi all,
I had my car detailed today by a friend who runs his own valeting/detailing company.
Upon inspection I've noticed a large patch of my dashboard near the glove box is a different colour, like a shiny finish instead of the normal matte leather.
He says he doesn't know how it has happened and thinks it is something on top of the leather that will come off. He says he will attempt to get it off at the weekend.
However, I'm not convinced it is something on top of the leather that willl come off... instead being a case of the material surface being corroded by some sort of cleaning chemical. The effect is the same as how my drive door inner handle looks, which is obviously from use/wear... so that suggests whatever has gone on my dashboard has basically stripped a layer/coating off it.
Just trying to see what you lot think, and what my options/solutions are to fixing this.
Here are the photos:
As you will see the coating is literally flaking off
Thanks
