    Weird question but I can't be the ONLY one here that experiences this. Back when I first got my truck and it was those sunny Georgia days, I would have my windows down and elbow rested on that leather like material just cruising. Months later I began realizing that there was a spot developing where I use to rest my arm, I guess sweat from being hot, body oil whatever. Now years later it's still there! When I get in on some warm days and the sun has been shining on it there is a small oily looking stain that I can wipe up with a napkin, no color or residue, just like its sweating. lol Maybe I'm crazy here but I began to wonder whether or not it could possibly be a defect?

    I'd just put some interior cleaner on it and call it a day, if you want to go to extremes, or if the prior doesn't work, I'd sprinkle some baking soda on there, wait a couple minutes then dilute some dish soap with water and scrub, rinse and repeat.

    Who knows at this point, I do electrical work for my job so maybe I was just "oily" riding home, fuck me I use the truck for work lol, but I have avoided the spot since I noticed it. At first I thought it was just the cheap thin foam under the leather creating an indention, which it has, but it sometimes still has an oily residue that comes up on warm days when it's been sitting all day. I'll try some cleaner on it. Again weird question like I said just had wondered if any other blue collar fella had ran in to the same issue as I had.

    I get a brown spot on there from resting my elbow, probably more noticeable because that part on my SR is light grey. Cleans off easy with some all purpose cleaner no problem. Definitely get in my truck pretty filthy from work regularly.
