Got my little jar of Swissvax carnuba wood wax today. This stuff serves as a good protection and swirl/scratch remover on clear coated wood and piano finish trim. Interior wood and piano finish trim is very delicate. It can scratch and swirl easily. Since I have the deluxe touring package, I have the maple wood trim with upper center console black piano finish trim. I hate when it get's finger prints on it and it looks oily. Mine was kind of swirled too. Also when someone sits up in the front and talks, people have a habit of spitting when talking and getting it all over the trim. I hate that! I advise to never use polish on this stuff cause you can screw up the delicate clear coated finish.


You can buy this stuff here:

Kind of pricey at $33, but it get's the job done:tup::tup::tup:




So here is my review:


1. Check out how dirty, oily, and dull the piano finish looked:

2. I recommend applying this stuff with the tip of your index finger so that you have better control of applying the wax and so that you don't get this stuff all over your the interior trim. Apply it in buffing motions, and don't apply it hard. Then let it haze for a few minutes:

3. Then use a very soft microfiber towel to remove it. Use only a microfiber because I think that's what leads to swirling in the first place. Check out the end results!!!:

Overall this stuff is very good. It makes the clear coated finish look wet and glossy with no streaks. Plus it adds a layer of protection making future cleaning and wiping easier, while removing/hiding swirls and scratches. I wouldn't recommend using some exterior wax on this as that can fade trim if it gets on it. This stuff doesn't fade trim if it gets on it since it's actually a dedicated wood/piano finish wax.

Nice work. How hard is it to remove that panel? On the 1st gens it literally requires a single push in the right direction (up) and it pops right off.
 
haha yeah I never removed it:tongue (2):


But if you do want to remove it you have to first remove the entire lower shifter panel area, then the coin pocket otherwise the upper portion of the console can't be removed. It's held on with pawls, screws, and two clips.
