Anyone else with this issue? Interior silver bits fading

Did your car recently get detailed? Only reason I ask is that in the last picture it looks like there is a film left on the some of the black plastic under the body brace. Maybe an interior detail product caused the problem? If you use armor all -stop- throw all that crap out.

50/50 Vinegar and distilled water? I've used this mixture to remove water spots from glass before with good results.

Yes, those are the illuminated kick plates, and I'm sure the previous owner installed them. I did have the car detailed by the dealership when I bought it, but other than that, nothing has been put on the interior. I didn't really look at that area too much when I was test driving it, but I noticed it immediately after I picked up after the dealership washed it.

I'll try the water/vinegar mix, thanks!

thank you so much! I'll definitely try some of these things out!

I keep it garaged at all times, and I try not to drive it in the rain, but I have no idea what the previous owner did before.

I would also consider just stopping by a good detail place and asking them what they might use to clear some of that up. I did that before for a little scuff on my roof... and the guy just hand-buffed it out right there for free.

FYI,

I tried the vinegar trick... DID NOT work. It behaved just like water did... wipe and it disappears for a split second and comes right back.
