Cleaning Wood Trim??
Just got my car this weekend...absolutely fab. Just wondering what you have used to clean trim WITHOUT making those tiny scratches in the surface? Thanks

Welcome to ClubLexus and congratulations on your new ride.
Lexus wood trim is easy. Treat it like your car's exterior, as it is finished too. Just take a little more care. I use a quality microfiber towel, the PakShak MICROPAK™ Ultra-Micro Fiber Towel, available with a ClubLexus discount.
A little quick detailer spray (QD) on the microfiber (MF) towel and wipe down the wood trim...Beautiful and simple! You could even skip the QD spray and use a little water on the MF towel, if the trim is not too dusty. The QD acts as a lubricant to help prevent dust from scratching.
You may also want to consider a California Car Duster for your interior. They make a small model especially designed for the interior.
Some people apply some sort of carnauba wax like P21S, S100 or Pinnacle. Some people use an acrylic or polymer sealant like Klasse, Zaino, or Meguiar's #20, but these are individual choices...Geez, Lemon Pledge is even the choice for many. Lexus wood trim has a hard finish that stands up very well and requires only mild cleaning, if done properly. Get some quality MF towels ASAP. You'll be glad you did. Please do not scrimp on these.
Good luck.
