Interior treatment question
I've visited this forum for over a year, but just now got around to registering - I've benefitted greatly from all the helpful posts and discussions. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on cleaning the dash and other interior surfaces of my 2000 CLK 430. I bought my car used, and it came with a stunning Armorall-type shine on all the plastic surfaces - I'm not sure if this is how it's meant to be, but I much prefer the matte look and feel of the dash on my wife's C240 wagon. Can anyone shed some light on how/whether the matte look and feel of the newer MB interiors can be achieved in my CLK? Many thanks.

If you don't get any responses here, you may want to try posting on the detailing section.
Mine doesn't have a high gloss shine so I can't be of much help.
Good luck and welcome aboard!

As JonW440 suggests Iz ****pit premium (interesting censorship, the **** is the same word used for the place a pilot sits in). For general cleaning I use 5:1 solution of Distilled water / Woolite.
~Hope this helps ~

I have had great luck with Zymol Vinyl and 303 aerospace protectant. After applying to the dash, let it sit for 20 minutes and buff off all excess product. This removes a lot of the glare and shine to leave a nice matte finish. Hope this helps.
