when i got my max I noticed the glove box handle was all crusty white and faded. i figured i'd have to repaint it. but i found this stuff at kmart made by 3m called refresh. it cleans it right up and now its back to its original shiny color. im just sharing this because ive been looking at a lot of wrecked max's lately and they all have faded glove box buttons. so i shared. also it worked on the crusty windshield wiper ****. -block

heres a pic of a crusty glove box handle

Something else that I found to work on mine is "Armorall Detailers Advantage" I got it at Autozone (K-Mart sells it too) for about $6 a bottle. It cleans it right up and it looks a lot better (not like new, but almost). And you need to make your "Sig" a little smaller there buddy....

armorall

armorall sucks dont use it on your car. I work at an upholstery shop so i would know. it may look good at first but it sucks the moisture out of your dash and it will crack in the future. i used to use it all the time but no longer do.

I use that stuff made by Tire Wet for my tires and they make this other stuff for interior, I think it's silicone based. It works and looks good, this won't hurt the dash will it, that's why I don't use that other stuff, I heard it damages the interior too.
