Update: I used 91 percent rubbing alcohol, some scotch brite pads and a small nylon brush and removed the soft touch from the visible areas on the center console and detachable trim pieces. I used the scotch brite to saturate the surface and do most of the heavy lifting. Then touched up with towels and the brush. The scotch brite can scratch the surface so don’t go too crazy, but the brush didn’t seem to.

Afterward it was clean enough that I just used 303 protect on it and it looks great. Prior to the 303 it was a little white in some places. I’ll check it again tomorrow.

Also, use appropriate gloves and ventilation with the rubbing alcohol. That stuff is no joke. I got super lighted for 30 minutes after the first go around. Not sure if it was the fumes or the small amount I got on my skin when I took my gloves off and did a last round of cleaning with them off.
