cleaning wood trim

I have restored wood and finished wood many times. In this case the wood trim is coated with an acrylic like the black glossy finish on a new piano. In fact one of my recommendations is to use the same product pianos require when polishing the wood (acrylic) finish. If it is scuffed - a fine plastic cleaner which is incredibly fine polish made for plastic convertible windows works well. And finally - one of the most overlooked coatings that is cheap and available is pledge. It's like a thin wax film - no solvents. Get the pledge without as much extras as possible - the old fashioned kind. I used this on my black convertible top vinyl for years - always super no cracking or fading. I hope this helps!

Winter Wool
Indeed that is funny - I'm from Southern California and don't own wool gloves. But, using the same reasoning would suggest you shouldn't wax your car because it will cause a glare from the sun when you are trying to see where you are driving. I suggest you try it out and decide for yourself. If it remains slippery, there are leather parts of the steering wheel to hold onto while the car warms up. You can then take off the woolen mittens. In the end, the finish on the wood might stand a chance.
