I think you will find there is a warning on these products about keeping same away from plastic.

Give Grade A Subaru breakers a ring. There breaking cars all the time so i don't think it will be long until you can replace the damaged parts.

Chips Away may well be able to do a local repair on your damaged trim. Just depends how bad the freshner has eaten into the panel.
