Anyone else having trouble keeping the interior clean??

I have the black interior and it has been very difficult to keep clean. It scuffs very easily. Every time I get into/out of my car it scuffs the sides and door sills. I know black shows everything but I thought I would only have a problem keeping the mats clean. I like the door sill plates that you can purchase but I'm not sure if they will help or if they are just for looks.

Any suggestions?

Had the same problem with the plastic panels etc. Just use an Armor All wipe and the problem goes away completely.

Now I'm expecting the flames for using Armor All. I'm sure there are similar products out there that are better, but this worked fine for me...

I look forward to replacing my center console lid with a leather one when available (I have a 1LT. Not sure if the 2LT/2SS are leather). Mine get elbow marks like crazy!

The black plastic on the door of mine scuffs extremely easily. But using a cleaning wipe seems to eliminate them easily enough. I notice them also on the plastic where the seat belt thing is.

I second Armor All, I have been getting scuff marks on the door sill from getting in and out of the car. I put the Armor All on and now it doesn't scuff.

The black plastic on my door can't stay spot free, other than that everything else stays clean.

I recently tried 'Turtle Wax Ice' "Interior Treatment" and like the results.


Occassionally I've used a stronger product to remove scuff marks from shoes, etc., which is a degreaser such as 'Orange Blast'.

Ive always used armor all on all my cars. To the people who has already used this how often do you guys apply this? I have been waiting to see what everyone was using. I didnt know how well the armor all would work on hard plastic interior? Good post guys.

I've used Armor All as well. I've used it on "customer cars" alot.

Usually I use their Interior Cleaner/Detailer first, followed up by either "Original" or "low luster" A.A., applied, then buffed with a clean towel to remove any excess.

I'd recommend using it once every two weeks.
