I waxed the car last month. No techniques just apply wax and buff it off.
There\'s more info at www.autopia.org.

Oh...waxing your car.
Anyway, wax on...wax off.

As far as the seats go, you can get \"special\" conditioners but I\'ve used the Armor-All Leather Wipes in the past and I haven\'t had any problems. Just use them on the seating surfaces as the rest of the seats, apparently,aren\'t leather. I wouldn\'t use those wipes on the console, I just dust mine. Some of the chemicals in those products may do more harm than good.
Moved to Exterior Maintenance. I don\'t see why this was in the Lounge to begin with, hence my first reply.

thanks for the tips bluntman, I\'m just going to use a damp cloth to clean the console areas. I also wasn\'t aware the entire seating isn\'t leather. Anyways I do l enjoy the seating eventhough you put forth such a disapointing fact.

I wouldn\'t use Armour-all at all. Over time, it makes things dry out and crack.

i\'ve heard that using any kind of chemical on your plastic components could lead to that and melt away some of the texture over time and heat from the sun , do you have any product endorsments for cleaning the seats though?
