Interior "Chalking"

[6444johnf]

I really don't drive my XLR very much, but recently there has been a "chalky" film on some the the interior leather. Now I keep the car in a dehumidified and keep the air circulating in the garage. In the trunk and interior I keep descant bags. I'm at a loss about this stuff. When I first purchased the XLR I had a spot on the dash board that I cleaned up with Murphy's Oil Soap, I think. Is this a standard issue or what?

Most likely has had a little water inside and its just mold on the leather. I see it on a few cars that sit for a while and do not have fresh air in and out of the car

This brings up the fact I need to drive the XLR more and work less! Thanks for your insight Mickeytee

Or instead of mold, you might "chalk" it up to this:

White chalky residue on dash

I'm hoping this doesn't make me seem to be ignorant, but here is goes. What aspects of our interiors are leather and what's plastic?
