I have a model 3 and used some Chemical guys interior cleaner on the dash … unfortunately it left 4 to 5 small but noticeable spots . Apparently I missed wipingI’m positive I did wipe the whole dash so I’m not positive about what it’s from. I’ve had the car two weeks so I’m frustrated with it looking bad already! Any advice on how to fix these faded spots on the leather part of the dash Or can I just buy a new leather top dash for Thank you for any help!

If no help on here try calling Chemical Guys and see what advice they have. I’m original owner still of a 2018 Model 3 LR/AWD (whole bodied Xpelled at delivery and ceramic costed) that I recently accidentally got black marker on a small spot of my roof material by the visor so understand how annoying it that must be for you. In my case my car’s in otherwise unblemished condition after all these years. And I’m the one who did it!

Yeah considered that but more afraid of looking at a spread of black than the small mark it is now. It’s a constant reminder I did it to begin with though.

You can just take your car to a car detailer. Maybe they have something to erase those spots.

The Chemical Guys Interior, the blue one is really weak, I doubt it could have damaged anything. I've even used it on the screen with no problems. The fake leather is really weird in new Teslas it gets a white haze to it that goes away eventually. I've been using Turtle Wax inside job and it gets rid of the hazing and seems to last a long time. I highly recommend it for Tesla interiors, it basically makes everything look like brand new again, no greasy finish or anything just ends up looking like the day you picked the car up. It will probably fix your issue.
