Just picked up a 2010 RX 350 with a black interior. I tried using Meguiars
Natural Shine Protectant on the doors (I've been using this product with great results on my other cars) but it seems not coat evenly on the panels. I haven't tried it on the dash yet.

What do you use to clean and protect the dash, doors, panels (anything not covered in leather)

Thanks!

 

Protectant 303.
Leaves a nice non greasy matte finish and some UV protection.
Door panels and such no problems.
Seems the dash may be anti glare plastic and will take a few coats to go on evenly but tough to get perfect.

 

^^^ what he said

 

Optimum (OPT) Protectant Plus is also great as well as 303. Both can be used on leather and have UV protection. I even use 303 on the exterior plastic and wheels. I've had black interiors for the past 7+ years. They may hide dirt but I definitely clean the inside regularly with both of these products for maximum protection.

 

does this protect the door panels against scratches from shoes getting in and out?

 

Would be nice but just a bit of a clean look low shine and some UV protection.

 

aww...lol. I still havent figured out a product that will help with that, either hide or remove or protect for people's shoes.

My 330 suffered greatly from this. Luckily, on the benz, the bottom half of the doors is covered in fabric so its a clean wipe to get rid of them

 

that's been bothering me a little also on my parchment interior. i was thinking about picking up some clear vinyl to cover it, since i've picked up my heat gun.

 

^Now that sounds like an idea. It's inevitable to mark up the door getting in and out no matter how careful. Though I would prefer a more durable scratch-resistant surface in the first place. tk, let me know if you try it out and post pictures.

 

Couldn't find the 303 where I live, I'm assuming it has to be ordered. So I tried ICE by Turtle wax, seems to work pretty well so far. Where can I get 303?

 

Online or at most marine/boat supply stores.

 

amazon has it for a pretty good deal.

 

Another member just linked me to this thread bc I just asked the same question haha! Thanks for the info. I found 303 on Amazon.

Are you guys using microfiber cloths/towels to apply?

 

Microfiber all the way!

 

bump for the 303 Aerospace protectant. Used by a lot of people with high end cars. I have used it for years.
