Does anyone know if the silver garnish around the doors and center console aluminum?What do you clean it with?

 

All plastic. I haven't used anything in particular to clean them.

 

Yea I just use a little soapy water on a microfiber towel to clean everything. Except the electronics.

 

Sounds like a lawyer to me.

Remeber don't use your blow dryer while sleeping.
Caution hot coffe is hot.

FWIW I never used micro fiber towles on my car before until I read it here on the forum they do work great even get the kids finger prints off the windows without cleaner.

 

Avoid ammonia based products (Windex, 409, etc). I use old cotton socks and a spray bottle of simple water with a few drops of Dawn mixed in it (about half a quarter teaspoon). I use a "duster can" of compressed air for nooks and crannies, a small soft round paint brush, STP plastic polish, and a STP leather treatment for the leather parts.

Note, I no longer use "armor all" as it seems to leave a sticky film after a while.

 

I agree about the armor all; I haven't used that in years. Dust and dirt sticks to anything with armor all on it.
Also be careful with the trim on the doors. I was pulling a box out of back seat and it rubbed against the door handle trim on the way out. It rubbed the paint right off; now it's just black in a few spots.

 

I fumbled my cell phone the other night, and it left a small chip in the silver painted trim along the passenger side of the console. Doesn't seem very durable. My last car had painted metallic trim, and it never showed any wear even after 2.5 years or hard use.

 

I guess we'll have to 3m protect the interior as well as the exterior!

 

If you have a silver car, use touch up paint. Take a small paint brush and take every hair off but one. I guess my dog will never see his day in there now.
