Which one do you have? I have been using Adam's polishes for years and not had any problems.

Hmmm... I use that on a regular basis and don't have that problem with the black leather. I do use it to clean the dash but then follow that up with something like armor all to finish it off.

For my leather seats, I use the cleaner and then use a conditioner so that might also remove the haze you are talking about.

As for Simply Green, if you have leather, don't use that stuff, it will dry your seats out. It is ok for spot treating but you need to be conditioning your seats or they will dry and crack.

Adam's usually stands by their products, so maybe you should contact them and see what they say. I suppose it is possible that you got a bad batch of the product and that is causing your headaches.

There have been discussions around Adam's interior cleaner having a sodium component to it's formula. If you're using it on dark surfaces you probably want to spread it out a little more than you're used to. If you still have white residue; light application (ie. dabbing or damp towel not soaking) with water will get rid of it.

Might be worth trying to dilute it. However, if it isn't working for you there are other cleaners out there that are just as good.
