Got Leather conditioner on my Cluster. How do I get rid of it?

So, I was detailing the car, and being the noob that I am, got overspray on the guage cluster and on the climate control screen in the center of the dash. It spotted the plastic and I can't get it off, I've tried windex, degreaser, water, soap. Everything short of rubbing alcohol.

Anyone know how to get rid of it?

If it makes any difference it was Meguiars Leather Conditioner

I just did my interior with that exact cleaner. Try using a pea size amount of Meguiars Plastx on the cluster and display. It is a mild abrasive polish that should do the trick.

Next time spray on a rag and wipe instead of spraying directly on the surface to be cleaned.

BTW... a little rubbing alcohol can go a long way

Will try the PlastX, good idea. I worked pretty well on my headlights and tails btw.

If that doesn't work, I will try a little bit of rubbing alcohol if I get no more suggestions. However, I will probably dissassemble the climate control screen so that I don't end up getting rubbing alcohol on the surrounding plastic.

I usually spray for large areas on the surface, but smaller ones such as the shift boot/steering wheel, I spray on the rag.


Thanks for the response.
