Products for C63 detail?
What do you guys use to clean the dash of the C class (I have C63 im assuming its the same). The dash material has a weird feel to it and I cant tell if its just textured vinyl or something else. What do you use to clean it and keep the same feel/appearance?
The bottom part of the door panel (below the leather) is also a weird cloth type of material, would just a simple brush vacuum work on that, or any good products for that material as well?
For the outside I am trying to figure which silver trim parts are actually chrome, which are not, and what to use to clean/shine them?
For example im pretty sure the front grill/star are made out of plastic, but are they coated with chrome? The window side silver trim seems to be made out of aluminum, and then the back trunk trim and exhausts seem to be chrome.
Do I have those right, and what should I use to clean them?

on the c63 plastics and dash area I use a clean microfiber towel and Einszett Cockpit.
The grills can be washed and cleaned up then waxed. yup they are plastic coated with chrome.
the exhaust and trim you can wipe down and use Adam's Metal Polish if you like.
Take a look at the product list used on this C63 with 200 miles.

On the dashboard I use the 303 Aerospace Protectant - 16 oz which provides UV protection and a nice matte finish. I use it on just about everything vinyl, leather, rubber and plastic.
For the fabric part I usually just brush it and vacuum as you suggest. If you have stains use the 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover - 32 oz to help remove them. This is my go to cleaner for fabrics and vinyl surfaces.
The chrome is often a coated plastic. I generally clean it with my normal wash and wipe down the area. If you want you can clay bar the area and protect it with a sealant.
