What is the best way to clean and care for the bodycolor matching interior items? So many interior care products available at Auto Zone, Meijer, etc. say not to use them on painted surfaces.

 

for the painted surfaces that match you car...I recommend waxing them ....like normal...if they are painted....then after that just use spray detailer....like turtle waxes or maguires spray detailer....they don't take much and well...it's quick and easy....heh ehh...

 

The folks lurking in this forum are usually extremists... myself included.

I might recommend using a sealant like Zaino or Klasse for these surfaces... not so much for the protection but for your convenience. If you get any wax on the surrounding surfaces (rubber/plastic trim), you might have some nasty white smudges on them. The sealants don't have this problem. Since you are (hopefully) using a sealant anyway, it will be easy to do the dash bits as well

If you are careful (or maybe even use blue painters tape to mask off the surrounding trim), a yearly waxing will help keep them bright and shiny. I wouldn't imagine that you would need to do it any more frequently as they have weather and UV protection.
