Default Bugspray on dash inserts

My fiancee was spraying her arms with bug spray and i noticed some got on the dash. By the time i got something to wipe the stuff off it had pitted the paint. there are little dots ( like pin pricks) all over the dash insert. And there are also larger, more noticeable spots on the radio bezel.

GARY HELP!!!

I tried everything short of harsh chemicals.

hmmmm bug spray. going with the "less is best" approach first. I would try some all purpose cleaner first. I can't imagion how the paint would get pitted from that> ? It could be "fish eyes" that might of been there before, when the paint was still curing. You can also try some paint cleaner, or clay bar. and last resort use some solvent cleaner. Test an area first though. gary

Update:

4 Waxings later, the dash insert looks alright. Unless I REEEALLLY look you i cant see the spots anymore.

However i cant get the clear plastic on the radio to clean. (windex, armorall, vinyl cleaner, chamois, spit on thumb)

For the radio plastic I use Plastix by meguiars
Radio plasic and dash plastic sratches real easy! DONT use a paper towel to polish the plastic. Use the softestMicrofiber towel
For the dash I use Einszett Cockpit Premium and Tiefenfleger
