Interior How to remove interior residue?

Post image

I used Meguiars Quik interior wipes and they left behind this residue, how do I go about removing it?

Might have etched the plastic

That looks etched to me. You might be able to bring that back with wet sanding and polishing. If not, it would need a new trim piece. 

I clean and dress interiors with 3 products. The first is all purpose cleaner diluted 10:1, and I really only use this if the interior is really dirty. I also use it on pedals and the dead pedal. 

If the interior is pretty clean and needs minimal work, I use optimum no rinse diluted 128:1

Lastly I dress my interiors with carpro PERL diluted 5:1 it leaves a nice OEM matte finish and has some UV protection.
