Looks like some sort of greasy spot? You also say it spreads a bit if you rub it and rub it, which sounds just like how a grease spot behaves on a dash (I've seen and cleaned them in cars). Was what you used to apply Natural Shine clean? Have you taken it to the dealer and asked them what's up? Curious as well, what's that white, almost dusty, looking stuff in the vents and in the crack of the dash and it also looks like greasy finger prints on the vents?

Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to narrow it down.

You aren't having an issue with non-uniform appearance though. You are having an issue with something physically being stuck on the dash material. Maybe some 'tard from the dealer wiped something greasy on it and the shine is making it noticeable now?

even armor all can be removed with APC, this is starting to bug me, maybe a pic will help.

"Do not use silicone or wax-based
products, or those containing organic solvents to clean
your vehicle's interior because they can alter the
appearance by increasing the gloss in a non-uniform
manner."

My Neon streaked and it seemed to "soak" up a lot of product before settling down and looking good.

Re: vinyl has streaks from natural shine....HELP

to answer some questions:

the dash was clean, its an 08 and no other product was used... i have used natural shine on my 1998 trans am with great sucess...

i have tried an all purpose cleaner (#39 and p21s)... unless some can suggest a brand

today i tried #39 again (soapy rag)
followed by a wet rag with a dime size of dawn
followed by a straight wet rag
folowed by a dry rag (all micro fiber)

this minimized the streaks...not fully gone

followed it with vinylex....#40 was a bit to glossy

its a bit dark now but i will post some comments tomorrow

also a quote from the GM manual:

"Do not use silicone or wax-based
products, or those containing organic solvents to clean
your vehicle's interior because they can alter the
appearance by increasing the gloss in a non-uniform
manner."

Tom did confirm natural shine does contain silicone even thought the product is water based. And also, after showing him pictures of my dash did confirm that the newer matte finish vinyl dashes do soak up product

more comments are greatly welcome

I would give it a good washing with apc. Then dry it completely. Then try your protectorant. Try spraying it on the applicator. Not on the dash. This should help you out.
