I don't use anything with silicones at all-- makes stuff greasy and gross and it collects lint like no tomorrow.
I just wash everything off with diluted soapy water and a soft cloth rag---- the plastic is not made to be glossy so I don't try to make it so--- I just keep it nice and clean
Good luck

ditto that, the orange wipes appear to be the only one's that don't leave a blotchy film behind.

I just dust mine with my california car duster. And when needed I may wipe over it with windex, but I have only done that once. I personally do not like a shine on the interier at all.

i got 3 words for ya. 303 aerospace protectant.

works magic. not a very glossy finish on the plastic but leaves it darker and more og looking. plus it protects great. alot of people swear by this on many detailing forums. works well, but $$$. a bottle of this stuff is around 15 bucks.

Armor All cleaning wipes (not the orange ones) work really good. They dont leave any gloss or spots. They come in a purple container.

I'm still getting some spotting with the 303. I experimented with some Zaino Z6 today and it worked well.

Does anyone have any tips for using the 303?

Ah..the dreaded door panels. Once ANY protectant gets on them, it stays there for life most likely. I wish you would of done a search before touching the door panels, but I think we all made the same mistake at some point.

For your interior, use 303. The first coat requires a lot to spread evenly. I applied 303 once and it is still there strong 6 months later. Spray it on a rag and apply it that way
