Greetings! I purchased my RX in April 2024 and noticed I have some white discoloration on my dashboard around what I’m suspecting is the airbag. 🤷🏻♀️ I use a sunshade during the day and my vehicle is garage kept. There are a few other white area along the dash but they are not as severe as this area. In addition, I have noticed the black rubber around the hood & door jams appear to have a white discoloration in certain areas as well; almost as if parts of it are drying out. Attached are photos of my dash for clarification. I used a clean, wet, microfiber towel to try to wipe whatever it is away but some of it is still present. Is this powder from the airbag? Has anyone experienced this?
I did not. The microfiber towel I used was moistened with filtered water only. As I searched through this forum I discovered this is a common issue with Lexus vehicles dating back several years. It’s apparent Lexus did not change the materials they use for their dash boards 😞 I never knew this dash material was soooo sensitive. Now I need to find a product that MIGHT help cover this eyesore up. Any suggestions?
Stop using a microfiber towel it grabs the plastic and causes damage use a cotton cloth instead. Most vinyl cleaner/treatment products will reduce the scratches visibiilty this is my personal favourite I like the low gloss look
In order to protect my dash from further damage from the sun/heat I am considering purchasing a dashboard cover/mat. However, they aren’t very attractive and takes away from the beauty of the vehicle IMO. I use a sunshade religiously and my car is garage kept. Is there anything else I can use to protect the dashboard besides leather cleaner/protectant?
