what can i do to fix this problem or prevent it from happening on more surfaces?

The material is leatherette and I also have a small tear 1cm on the rear bench, how much will it be roughly to seal it back up? It is small and barely noticeable but I would like to get it fixed to prevent it from getting bigger.

You can purchase repair kits (consisting of a small patch and adhesive plus colourant) from companies like Color-Plus.

I would also recommend periodically cleaning using Iz einszett 'Plastik-Reiniger'

Theres nothing wrong with it. Its dirty. It looks like milk droplets after drying.

I used the OEM BMW interior cleaner spray to clean it and it didn't do anything and that was why I thought they were chips.

What cleaning products would you recommend that would be stronger and do a better job?

[rkitzel]

I think the key is not what specific cleaner you use but that you re-wet the stained areas and allow the crusty deposits at the bottom of the texture to soften. Try a soft toothbrush and mild water based cleaner to lift the white-ish deposits and follow with a microfiber cloth.

I used a toothbrush and it seemed to be working. Ill wait till tomorrow and take car out under broad day light and see if those spots are gone

THX for the tips and ill keep u posted.

Thats Real Leather!

Yeah thats leather not leatherette. They also look like stains not chips. Soak them, then try and remove them. You might also try a leather cleaner like Zymol or something and really scrub it in there with a toothbrush or something.

All you gotta do is check the door panel to see if you have leather or leatherette. ( look for the seam )

I have leatherette. And with regards to the cut, how should I address that? roughly how much will it cost for a shop to seal that small crack back up?

Thanks
