I wanted to post this sooner but I've been too busy and a bit too lazy I guess. So here it goes. Better late then never. 
My mom's aunt in San Fransisco passed away and left her this Cadillac. I think it’s a 1991 with only 17k miles. After having the car shipped all the way to Wisconsin it was pretty dirty. I told my dad that I would do a full detail on it the next time I came to visit but he doesn't understand the difference between a "detail" and a "car wash". So he ran it through the local touchless tunnel wash. When he got home he noticed spots on the vinyl top. Not sure if they where there before the wash and covered with dust or if the wash caused them. He tried wiping them off with a rag and water but no luck.
Here is an overall photo of the car and my supervisor to the left.
Here is what I had to deal with. I tried some #40 with a microfiber, with no results so then I tried some #39 with a microfiber with minimal results. I then tried letting the #39 dwell a bit longer, still minimal results. I tried #39 with a Meguair’s interior brush, which worked better but still not perfect.
I ended up scrubbing for over an hour just to get the half done you see. I then followed up with a few coats of #40. It looks 95% better but still isn’t perfect. My arm was killing me after doing the whole thing. I need to get in shape. lol
Thanks for looking. If anyone has any suggestions as to what might have worked better I am all ears.
