Default Cleaning question

What is the best product to clean the black glossy door trim that has the number keypad on it? Keeps getting boogered up with fingerprints.

I keep a microfibre cloth and a bottle of turtle wax glass and dash in my console. I'm at the dirtbike track all the time so there is a tonne of dust and dirt. This keeps my interior clean and works on the windows and shiny parts too. Its under $5 for a can.

You can cover it with black vinyl film pretty inexpensively.

Then you won't have to worry about the fingerprints and scratches.

Good question. Except in my case, it always has swirl marks all over it. Guess I need to wax it.

plexus to clean and polish. SC1 hides swirls you already may have very nicely too.

Yes, takes out the swirl marks and fine scratches just fine. Use a microfiber
to apply and then buff with same.
