What do you use to treat wood?

[Felixxx]

The oem wood pieces in my 99 GS are in need of some love.. I usually just wipe them down with microfiber towels when I wash my car but I'm sure there's a better way to bring out the shine.. What do you guys do to treat the wood?

You can use pledge on it if you want it to shine. Any wood conditioners would work also =)

^LMAO I didnt want to be the one to say it :smiley-rofl:

Anyway, on real wood you can use any wood cleaners that you would use in the house. I personally use Zaino z5 sealant/polish

Either way it has a clear of some sort on it. If the problem is light scratches, you should try to use some polishing compounds. Novus Plastic Polish should work great, I've use it on all kinds of plastics/clears.

ya i use that too every once in awhile. i now like to top it off with the zaino clear seal, and use the AIO polish before the z5. makes it ridiculously shiny for a week. luckily i dont drive it much in the daytime or i might hurt my eyes.:biggthumpup:

i use black magic dash cleaner. its more of a ooze and when it gets on it stays wet. and i think its good

Its real wood (veneer) coated with urethane, unfortunately it is susceptible to getting scratches.

Treat the wood as if it were your paint. Virtually any product designed for polishing automotive paint can be used.

Hopefully, what you are seeing is fine swirls and scratches, nothing too deep. For that I suggest, cleaning the area first, then apply a micro-abrasive polish, e.g. Maguire’s ScratchX. It is a commonly used product, so it should be easy to find. This will remove fine scratches and swirls and make deeper ones less visible. You may need to do this step a few times. Then apply by a couple of coats of a wax (I'd use a quality liquid). Also follow the instructions of all products and I recommend using quality microfiber towels throughout the procedure.

I have experienced and heard others using this method with good results. Whatever you choose to do – I wish you the best of luck.
