Question Cleaning wood grain?

I was just wondering what people are using to clean the wood grain in their vehicles?

Doug is right, pledge works great!

after that, go over it with a coat fo car wax, no im not kidding. it works great to protect it from fading and from dust and stuff.

Yep, Pledge is fine.

But I also polish my 'wood' with Meguires plexiglass cleaner to remove the scratches from the epoxy's surface... works like a charm.

I use a damp microfiber towel to dust and clean the plastic-coated wood used by Lexus. I shy away from Pledge--even in furniture--because the oily film only attracts dust and doesn't offer any protection. For protection and added shine, I would use whatever wax or sealant I use on the paint.
