Default Keeping the plastic clean.

So has anyone else notice that the plastic interior scuffs up very easily? I've been very on top of this just trying to see what causes it but it seems everything causes it to scuff up. The black plastic is nice, but every time anyone or anything touches any part of the dash or side panels it starts to get a white streak, mark, or spot.
I use Mcguire's Interior Cleaner, after dusting everything off, since it's what I have always used and it has always worked, but not so much in the tC2 lol.
Any other input, advice, or comment?

Agreed the interior scuffs up easily, but I don't have a fix just yet.

I heard Poorboy's Trim Restorer works on black plastic on a guys boat I met this summer. Dries clean and black is restored on outboard motor covers etc so I think it may work on the interior. I know on my xB after the body shop "cleaned" it the black faided a lot so the next time I put together an order on maybe Amazon I will get some.

@sciontc323 lol I would feel like my grandmother wrapping up her whole house in plastic.

@Jan06xb I'll do some research on that. If you end up getting it and it works post some pics. It'll be nice to see the difference from an actual person we can talk to.

It doesn't scuff, its just dirt marks.

Carry a microfiber cloth with you and when you see a whitish scuff on an interior panel, wipe it with the cloth.

That's all I do and my interior still looks like the day it rolled off the lot.

Put a film over it. That is the best possible solution or simply drive alone without passengers =P. Try using aerotect 303, one of the best cleaners for windows/plastic.
