icantdrive55 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 For all the G8 owners, what do you do to clean and maintain the top of the dash and the tops of the doors? The textured, grainy material is somewhat of a challenge to keep looking showroom new. Thanks in advance for your input. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPDAN Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 i use the leather and interior cleaner on them. Then follow up with leather conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I use the interior cleaner on an MF towel, and then follow up with VRT on the dash and SVRT on the doors. I let sit for a bit, and then buff off the excess to get a nice satin look. I'm trying to use up my old VRT, but where the rain hits I use SVRT.

I do what he does on customer cars with similar interiors, and also my SS. However, I use Leather Conditioner in lieu of SVRT or even the precious VRT (got a gallon still uncorked). I think shooting cleaner onto the towel is paramount. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDM Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yeah I should add I never use the cleaner directly, I always spray it into a towel and wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icantdrive55 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I am going to do some dash and door cleaning right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Keep in mind, when you open the door in the rain, if you drive yours in the rain, both VRT and LC will run. I found this out the hard way and when SVRT came out, all was well on the Earth for me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPDAN Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm going to try the svrt next time. Sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I never thought about the water part on my doors. I always thought about the SVRT and old VRT giving me mad glare on the inside of the windshield, from the dash. Hence the LC there. But, next time out, SVRT on my door pieces!

I was worried about that too, but with the buffing, I get ZERO glare and it's really not shiny at all. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icantdrive55 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just wrapped up using LIC on micfiber and LC dressing. Looks fantastic! Thanks again for your suggestions. Will try SVRT next time for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
