Not really seeing what the issue is. That the center panel is a little discolored compared with the side bolsters, etc?

Probably something from your clothes rubbing off on the seats.... although i have to admit i'm having trouble seeing the problem.

My guess is the detailer used a cleaner that filled the pores and made them look white. Try rubbing with a microfiber towel and/or vacuum the the pores out to see if it helps.

I think that's the leatherette, and yeah, it's probably just some kind of cleaner goop in there. A brush or a microfiber cloth should help.

Those look like the leatherette sport seats. Did the detailer perchance wipe them with something that got stuck in the little indentations?
