I am not sure how to best explain this but here goes...
My vinyl dash is black with midnight blue accents. My glove box which is typical lightly textured plastic (I think) is also midnight blue. I noticed today that it has a few areas on it that has a distinct reddish/pink color to it. Almost as if the blue were fading or wearing off or something. The other odd thing about it is that the reddish area seems to be well demarcated and almost has a linear border on it in places (especially near the top). It is especially noticeable when light hits it from the side.
It is not really in an area that would be rubbed by passengers legs or anything and the car (mitsubishi) is about 1 year old so I dont understand how anything could fade already (and why on the glovebox and not anywhere else?) No chemicals or food have been spilled there either (or anywhere in the interior for that matter).
I tried cleaning it with PB natural look (also scrubbed with mild brush to no avail), meguiars dash cleaners/protectants , and even broke out the Orange blast, but nothing helped. Didn`t even alter it one bit.
Does anybody have any insight or ideas on this? Maybe it is something common that I have never seen before, but if anyone has any thoughts, remedies, ideas, or help I would be very appreciative...help!
Thanks so much!
