Best idea for cleaning interior smudges?...
Many of you know that the TT's interior is prone to smudging very easily. I was using water, but it didn't work all that well. Recently, I tried Meguiars Quik Detail, which I normally use to clean bugs and crap off of the paint. To my surprise, it worked excellent, and didn't appear to leave any residue, or that shiny "Armor All look". Just spray on and wipe with a terry towel.
Give it a try. Even if you don't like it, you should carry a bottle in your TT anyway. It's $4.50 per bottle at WalMart.
P.S. Here's another tip that I learned the hard way. Let's say you have returned to your TT, only to find that birds have taken a massive dump on your baby. The natural inclination is to spray it with Quik Detail, or the like, and wipe the doo doo off. Problem is that birds eat all kinds of grit, including little peebles and such. So when you rub off the poop, you may scratch the heck out of your paint. You must get it really wet and spray it off with water.<p><img src="http://home.san.rr.com/winefinds/1.jpg" border="0">

Re: Best idea for cleaning interior smudges?...
I have been trying Lexol Leather treatment on the interior leather (of course)and on the vinyl trim pieces...and seems to address smudge issue. Also I remember some time ago someone posting about 'dull grill'. When I read post went out and looked (in sun light) and yes it was very dull. Pulled out my detailing stuff and decided to try something...sprayed Stoner Tire Treatment on clothe and with finger tip rubbed in and then used a Q tip (also sprayed with Stoners) on seams/inside Audi rings etc...then using dry clothe wiped off. Very nice finish and survives washing (one anyway). Just an idea...<p>2001 Amulet Red 225TTQC
