    [font=Comic Sans MS:c8b01e8016]First, I wiped the hard interior surfaces (dash, doors, etc.) down with 303 Protectant. In addition to protecting from UV, it has anti-static compounds to keep the plastic from attracting dust. Second, for touchups I use a microfiber cloth, available at auto and kitchen supply stores.

    Quick and easy.[/font:c8b01e8016]

    What about the painted surfaces? 303 seems to smear like crazy on these. I tried glass cleaner but my wife hid that from me since the owner's manual says it's a no-no.

    [font=Comic Sans MS:17bb9ae403]303 only looks smeary if you don't polish it with a dry cloth/swiffer. It looks really nice, very matte, when you let it dry and polish. It seems to make the color more intense.[/font:17bb9ae403]

    I applied as you instructed and it looks very good.
    Thanks, I guess I had quit 5 minutes before the miracle on my first attempt.
