Guys

I have silver 09 touring ed. What do you guys use to clean/polish the ext black trim. In the past I have used amourall on my other cars, but that was a while ago. I do use a small amount to clean the int trim. Lately I haven't been happy with that product and wonder if anything else is out there

thanks

Thanks cx9 sportsowner. Sounds like a low cost solution to a problem. Any particular foam work best? Also have you tried any on the interior plastics? The Grier stuff is pricey.

Yikes! You must own stock.

No, but I really do like their products. :)

My garage.

Looks like a little bit of OCD to me...:) Damn it woman, the glass cleaner goes next to the vinyl dressing not the interior cleaner.

Damn! That's one sano garage brother!! (bowdown)

I wish MY garage looked that clean, but the "other-half" keeps dumping boxes of half filled crap all over the place. A womens catch-all room (bang)

Mother's Back To Black works great. $6.99 and gets the wax residue out while making the black trim look new again.

It's a little more in depth than just going out and buying some stuff off the shelves, but I just wash with regular cash wash first (I use Meguiar's Gold Class car wash), then get some Meguiar's Hyper Dressing diluted to a 2:1 ration and spray it on a microfiber cloth and rub it on the black trim. It makes the trim look amazing!
