I don't know about you guys, but I have had my MCS for only about 3 weeks (love the car) and the black interior shows dirt fairly easily. I have noticed that some detailers recommend a soft-bristle paint brush with the bristles cut short to get out the dirt. What do you guys think? Also my lovely wife drove it to work one day and some how mangaged to get some "Wite-Out" on the steering wheel. I think it's enamel based stuff, so I'm a little leary how to clean it off. What do you guys suggest.

You could always use Acetone or MEK (Methyl Ethel Ketone)...but that might also eat your interior plastic. If nothing else, you could dilute one of those chemicals as a backup plan. They are pretty hardcore and usually remove ANYTHING. Just a thought.

Good Luck

Thanks. I'm going to try alcohol first. A beer or two for me...seriously though, I've got some rubbing alcohol, and if that doesn't work I'll try your suggestion which is a little bit meaner acting stuff. Good idea to dilute it first.

I've got a 10 month old son, so I'm sure a little bit of Wite-Out on the steering well will soon become the least of my concerns...
