What is the best way to clean all my trim around my stereo,climate control and even around my speedo? Its black and i'm kinda of afraid to try different stuff cause I dont want it to fade.

I use armorall type of stuff and a toothbrush....... I wipe off all the excess dirt and dust with a towel, then I use a dry toothbrush to get the dust out of the seams, then I take a small rag and I armorall tha whole thing.........

 

Doesnt the armorall get it kinda of greasy or attract dust more? I used to have a wood dash trim so It has just a little bit of residue left on it,not much but a little is still on there.

Yeah, Armorall does get kind of greasy.... I heard something about a "low shine" armorall that does clean and polish your dash and trim, but it doesnt give the high shine like the regular stuff does...... From what I hear, its not as greasy either..... You might look into that stuff...

 

Look into Eimann Fabrik Clear Pearl Instant Detail Spray. It's quite low-shine and smells nice. Does a good job of detailing without the goop or sticky factor. A little goes a long way.

I bought a bunch of it and have had excellent results. That website is also a great source of detailing information.

I use Mother's "Back to Black". Great stuff. You rub it on, then buff it off. It DOES NOT leave a greasy residue or a fake shine. What it does leave is a very clean, de-oxidized dash as close to new as probably possible. Definitely brings back the natural (original) color. Great for any color plastic part that has started to fade and oxidize. Good on rubber such as trim, too.

I actually use tire foam. Spray it on let it sit wipe everything down amd presto new dash without the cheap shiny look. When it starts getting dusty take a dash or car duster and wipe it down, it will look like you just cleaned it again.

 

Use Swifters wipes. Come in a green box. Used for dusting. They work really good

 

Meguiars natural shine... the best stuff out there.

 

i am trying to remove my stock radio/cd (bose) in my 2000 max.

 

Hey KBUCK - welcome to the org!! Try the 5G forum for specifics like that. Probably lotsa tricks.
Luck!!

 

BTW - +1 on the Back to Black - long lasting and it stays DRY! - not sticky.

 

Try the 5th gen forum..
