Default Driver's door plastic trim discoloration. Have you had and/or what is a solution?
The hand-grab area on the arm-resting side panel (next to the window switches) has slowly lost its black color and a slight orange hue is showing underneath. Has anyone experienced similar issues, and if so, how have you treated?

I haven't discussed with the dealer yet, and clearly I don't want to use a Sharpie marker!

Default It's not dirt.
it is most definitely scratches from rings, keys, etc.

Jeans tend to give off a lot of color; same with belts, etc.
