Well as Dennis Griffin was so kind to point out I forgot the" black 

chroming the interior part". I bet he thought I had gone completely 

bananas and powder-coated all my chrome black...

Actually the truth is even weirder, a friend of mine who is aware of 

my obsession gave me a bottle of Turtle Wax black chrome as a joke, 

it had been collecting dust, as it is used to make black metal shine 

like chrome, hence the name DUH.....;-)

After I had dri-washed Lrr I tried the stuff on the plastic interior, 

nothing much happened, got my towel all dirty but the interior still 

didn't look any brighter. I tried some Turtle Wax cockpit spray, 

which made it streaky and even some Zymol top conditioner...nothing 

worked any magic. Feeling in a frisky mood I tried the Black chrome 

stuff on a really faded part and to my surprise it looked really good, 

luscious deep deep black shine, the kind that makes you want to lick 

your dashboard...but you don't because that would be silly.

I did the whole interior in 10 minutes (including doors and 

top-lining) polished the whole thing out and put on my 

Ray-bans...the shine is that deep, today I checked again, the 

wet-look is still there and it doesn't rub off when finger it. I have 

no idea if this stuff will attract dust, but I think it will...

Another fine example of using a product for something else that it 

was meant for and coming up roses...
