What are people using to clean the Wood trim and Piano Black trim/elipses in the R56? I like to stick with one brand of products (I'm a Prima man!). So what is the best to use on these areas? I wouldn't think Nero, because of it's matte finish property. Hydro? Clarity? Slick? Good old-fashioned H20 (the owners manual says to only use water on the wood trim)?

Let me know

 

I can't speak to the wood trim as I don't have any but I use Hydro on my interior CR plastic bits

 

I don't have the wood but I do have piano black and use hydro on it.

 

I actually found, while installing my new gauge faces, that the painted dash pieces come out easily (except for the one on the driver's side). Since I had some swirls I removed them and did Swirl, Amigo and Epic using my PCDA. I will keep them nice and shiny with Hydro and Slick. Heck - they're painted aren't they! As for the wood; no clue, but I know who to ask ... Heather at DP!

 

Where has Heather been lately? She hasn't chimed in in awhile.

 

Don't know. I was planning to stop by DP tomorrow on the way home so I'll ask.

 

Stopped by DP tonight - Heather has been out of town. I told Nick that he has to fill-in on NAM when the "Queen of Clean" is unavailable. He just laughed at me.

 

what are you all using to condition/clean the leather?

 

pray- started using Griot's new LeatherCleaner Spray on my G. it's fantastic!

 

as far as just dusting off painted trim pieces, i would use either the
interior calduster, or just some QD.

if it's a matte finish, i would probably not use anything that has a
shine and just use some distilled water in a spray bottle and wipe
away. SpeedShine works great for cleaning interiors as I found
out...but that's not Prima, so not sure wat you would use, PrimaMan. lol

yours truely,
HydroMan. lol

 

I've always used lexol's products and find that they do a good job.
