    Looks like a white grease sprayed into the lock, if the all purpose cleaner the dealer used has not worked (if they even bothered) than I would suggest steaming it clean first to see how you go.
    If you don't have a steamer than a cup of very hot water and a toothbrush to scrub it should have some affect.

        Your suggestion worked like charm. All clean. Took 20 min with steamer but at end everything gone. Happy driver [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
