+1 on Einzsett - it dries to a more matte finish than 303, but cleans well and is great for colored or clear plastic. Not sure I would use it as a leather cleaner/protector, but I use it everywhere else.

From the looks of those pictures, it looks like the doors were kept open in extended Rain or when sprinklers were.

Dashboard use the https://www.detailersdomain.com/prod...-cleaner-500ml or https://www.detailersdomain.com/prod...nt=14114520323
For Leather use Leatherique https://www.detailersdomain.com/prod...prestine-clean and https://www.detailersdomain.com/prod...ejuvenator-oil

Leatherique will work wonders on your leather, I have used it on our R8 with Audi exclusive leather and it has bought them back to factory condition. The oil and pristine clean are the best.

A good leather guy can re-dye those armrests. I doubt the doors were exposed to a sprinkler etc. The damage is only on the armrest which is a separate piece. Looks like they’re vinyl instead of leather.

I dont think the poster is giving you the complete story
