You must be an expert at removing those interior trims by now! Can you confirm that the one around the handbrake / gear lever is a PITA. I have piano black with a few scratches on that I'd like to sort but it would be easier with the trim removed.

It is a PITA if you dont know what you're doing, like anything :)

I had some scratch's in mine, I wet sanded it with 2000p and then polished. no need to worry about "sanding through".

All the guides I've see so far talk about removing the rear console first which looks like a lot of work. A nice little 'how to' from someone in the know would be very useful :poke: :D
