List of Chrome Parts
I just bought a bottle of chrome polish and was wondering if someone had a list of all the parts that are chrome so that I don't miss any... sometimes you get that "chrome-like" stuff that doesn't respond well to the polish.

So what's the scoop with chrome plated plastic? Is it safe to use chrome polish on it?
I used some on the tailpipes, as they sure look chrome-y. Seems to polish them up pretty well. Actually, now that we're on a similar topic... is the stuff that wraps around the dashboard and doors leather or pleather? My guess is (fairly low quality, unlike the seats) leather, but it doesn't seem to absorb leather polish like most leather does, so I could be wrong. |

Don't use a chrome polish on the plating.
As for the doors/dash... not even leather at all. Just soft-touch textured material.

Just use a damp cloth to wipe it down and then a dry cloth to dry it off.

While we are on the topic of cleaning supplies...I remember my 03' 350 being a huge pain in the *** as far as cleaning the doors and plastics inside. Used all sorts of "products" but always looked streaky and greasy...more opinions...is a damp towel the way to go on the new z's?

What's up with everyone slamming Armorall... I like the way it looks and it makes it really easy to know which parts need touch up... when it starts to lose the shine, it's time to do it again.
Are there any non-subjective reasons not to use it? IE, it damages certain types of finishes? |
