Cocaine residues?

Perhaps a wax based leather treatment was used. Try a saddle soap cleaning using a soft shoe polish brush/applicator. Follow up with a good lanolin.

I once used silicon spray and it was not so bad

Would this be good for seats etc as well

Wet the (soft) brush, swish it around in the saddle soap and then work a generous amount of the resulting lather into the leather. Wipe off completely with a damp cloth.

Use warm hands to work the lanolin into the clean leather. Just a bit is all that is needed. Damp cloth to remove any excess (if needed).

Works on anything leather in your Ferrari.

Great for your hands as well.

 

I have used liquid vitamin E...apply warm buff out completely

 

How does it look a year later ?

 

Normal on '88 and earlier cars.

 

My '90 did this. This seems happen mostly on black dashboards.

 

Can you post a pic

The last picture is me starting the process of treating the leather. The strange thing is the leather was in great shape --no pulling anywhere. It just looked ashy. Fortunately it is fixed and looks/feels mint.

 

Vincenzo,
I took your advice (a year later) and ordered also for my 512M's dash. Amazon will be delivering in the next few days. Ill let you know how it goes. Thank You.

 

As an fyi…. In the jar, the lanolin tends to get hard over time. Shelf life is low.

Have seen it in quite a few '88 and earlier cars. AFAIK the leather is different after about '89.

 

The 512tr has this issue on window sill

I have a super low mileage 91 TR and the leather turned ashy as well.
