Yep, we've got Brasso. My only worry would be the petroleum distillates and how the plastic would react over time. How long have you been using it, and how are your results thus far?

To polish the fake wood, I suggest that you first clean it with some kind of kitchen, multi-surface cleaner (Windex, Endust, etc.) that you can buy in the grocery store. Be cafare not to get any on the fake suede or leather. Then you can use some kind of plastic polish. Ask the wives what they use to clean & polish the formica counters or tabletops in the kitchen.

I've tried using "Endust" on my car interiors before. Trouble is, it seemed to be too greasy and would actually attract MORE dust. Obviously, you've had a different experience.

Dude, you already have the second highest post count. Let me have the mind in the gutter and toys.

Lwin, I think a good 66% of us are "gutter-minded."

Only used it once with good results. It has a very fine abrasive which polishes out any scratches.

As a sanitary engineer, I use Brasso all of the time for finishing plastic baths.

I have been using a Meguires leather cleaner/ conditioner on my seats. I happened to get some on the plastic wood trim and proceeded to wipe it off. Works and looks great on the trim! Makes it look new! It's not too greasy like the other dash cleaners and it seems to shine over the rest!
