    Had these same spots on my '09 after I removed the warning stickers that had been on there since new. Scrubbed with a magic eraser and topped with 303 and it took care of the issue.

    You finally found one of those elusive features that none of the other truck mfg. companies offer. You should be proud, not pissed. ;)

    You have it all wrong, that is the 'polka dot' package from the dealer! It's not always mentioned on the lot sticker, but it IS a 400$ extra :D

    I had a few of those spots back when i purchased my brand new 2012 that year.Meguires ultimate interior detail cleaner worked for me.Simply sprayed on and wiped of.No aggressive rubbing necessary.This is the only product i use for my interior.Safely cleans and protects.For all the TW members don't use Armor All or dress/overdress your interior surfaces.I personally think its doing more harm than good!Just lookin out for all the TW members!

    It's Ok man. Most of us have been there before. I admit, I have. :thumbsup:

    But, someday life will throw you MUCH more important and meaningful problems, joys, concerns, heartbreaks, successes, failures, love and love lost....

    When material things become too big to a person, he begins to idolize those things. And with that he will never find contentment.

    Think about it. :cheers:

    Sure glad you see it that way. I meant not to come across as lecture.

    But I'm an old guy (55) and it's funny how I see things different after going through the loss of a loved one or financial ups and downs.

    Mine has it in almost the same spot as OP. My dealer applied the special interior sealant and it had the warning sticker on that spot. I've since removed the sticker and I think that's just an area that's missing the protection. It doesn't bother me much and at least I know they actually applied something lol. Might give that Meguiar's interior product a shot that someone above mentioned tho.
