08 Interior plastic parts rubbing skin off?

FlashEngineer · 07-22-2008, 09:59 AM

Ok title sounds really strange but basically the plastic parts inside the car, (dash, door panels etc) when you run your knuckles or fingers or something with a bit of pressure, does your skin rub off and make a mark on it?

Is there something you can do about this...? It's getting annoying seeing all these white marks on the car.

I use megs interior cleaner with a microfiber cloth.

what? come on have a serious answer, none of you reach in to grab or put stuff in the center console? or open the doors and rub against the panels etc.. I washed it already, I guess I need to put some of that vinyl protection...?

You rub off on your dash?

On a serious note...I've never "ran my knuckles or fingers or something with a bit of pressure" on my dash.

This place is way too serious way too much of the time. It's supposed to be fun isnt it? But anyways, seems to be the nature of the beast this time. Wipe it down with a rag or absorber and be done with it. All of us with an 08 know exactly what you are talking about. I'll take the funky plastic over the 300+ interior rattles that my 05 had. Now that drove me crazy.

+1 thats what i use too meguires quick interior detail wipes. it helps with the white dry marks but this plastic seems to suffer from dryness quite often. dry marks will return after a few days and theres no real "cure" for it... i just keep the bottle of the wipe in the rear seat cuz i use it so much...
