Ive bought some autoglym vinyl and rubber care for the plastic trim and it has worked a treat. Also used on the metal and made it look better. Going to try a bit of tcut metal polish next weekend too

I wouldn't use tcut on the metal. A damp cloth is your best bet.

It's a decorative, brushed, unlacquered aluminium. It WON'T respond well to abrasives like metal polish..

Not sure on brushed ally. Personally I use Johnson baby wipes every where on the interior. :)

I use a magic sponge on my brushed aluminium trim, works a treat, I was supprised at how much embedded dirt it lifted the first time I used it, left the trim looking like new
