Default Did this happened to any MS3 owner?

Check it. It already was when I bought the car. No way for cleaning it as it seems already cleaned.

Is it a repair from a crack in the dash? I'm not sure of the process but they may have used some sort of resin to keep the crack from expanding. Kind of like they do with windshields.

Can you feel it when you run your fingernails over it?

If it's dirt, grim, or jizz, Adam's Polishes interior cleaner should get it off without hurting the dash. BUT I think someone repaired a cracking dash. Seems stupid for them to repair it when you could call Mazda and probably get them to replace it. Any accident history? Maybe call lkq and see if they can get you a dash.

A cracking dash?

Because of a crash or so? Before buying it I called Mazda and there was no accident story but one front bumper repair.

Anyways, it's hard to believe that it's been repaired because if you touch it it feels totally normal, there would be some kind of difference, wouldn't be?

Some sort of spill. Replacement pieces can be obtained, and I think it's an easy swap.

If it's only to replace the part I'll look for a used one.

Do other Mazda 3 have the same part?

Yes, '04-'09. The vents could have a different color so just swap your old ones.

I'm not entirely sure what hurts most, the grammar in this post, or that nasty stain.
