Cleaning the fake wood trim
I've tried using the wood cleaner/polish but since this is not the real wood an oily residue remains and attract even more dirt. Damp towel with some mild shampoo seems to work fine but I would prefer to use a specialized cleaner.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The wood trim in most vehicles (some older Mercedes Benz model’s use real wood) is protected with a urethane clear coat, polyurethane or a thin lacquer, which is very easily scratched. Remove scratches with a fine polish (Groit's Fine Hand Polish) clean /protect with a chemical cleaner (Klasse All-In-One or Zaino Z-AIO) and then buff with a clean 100% cotton towel
Maintenance- use an anti-static plastic cleaner (BTI™ Chemicals Plexus Plastic Polish & Cleaner) and lightly spray a damp towel and apply 303 Space Protectant for UVR protection
